The New Orleans defense made several big plays in the half: defensive end Cameron Jordan recorded his 10.5 sack of the season, ends Chase Young and Carl Granderson shared a sack of Atlanta quarterback Kirk Cousins and Granderson made an exceptional diving interception in the first quarter. Jordan now has seven seasons with 10 or more sacks, the most in franchise history.
The Saints (6-10), who are trying to end the season on a five-game winning streak, will get the ball to start the second half against Atlanta (7-9).
