Falcons Locker:
The Atlanta Falcons are happy to have 52-year old head coach Mike Smith calling the shots. The franchise has never been better than they have been under Smith the last four years. Sure, they are only 5-3 this year, but they have won three in a row and they are playing their best football of the season right now. The Falcons are now 38-18 (67.9%) under Mike Smith during the regular season in his first four years on the job. The next step will be Smith getting the Falcons to have more success in the playoffs, and that might come this year.

After practicing in full on Wednesday, Falcons receiver Julio Jones was limited on Thursday with a hamstring injury.

That worry was unnecessary. Jones was limited again on…

Facing Drew Brees is never easy for the Atlanta Falcons.
New Orleans' record-setting quarterback is 8-2 in the NFC South rivalry and has put up some staggering numbers: 3,010 yards passing, a 68.1 completion percentage and 20 touchdowns.
