Overview
- The 1 p.m. ET kickoff in Atlanta is the final determinant of the NFC South after the Buccaneers beat the Panthers on Saturday.
- If Atlanta wins, Carolina, Tampa Bay and Atlanta would all finish 8-9, and the Panthers would take the division via the three-team mini-series tiebreaker.
- If New Orleans wins, Tampa Bay would edge Carolina in the two-team common-opponent tiebreaker to claim the title.
- Both the Falcons and Saints are out of the playoff picture but can swing the division outcome for the Panthers or Buccaneers.
- New Orleans will be without wide receiver Chris Olave after doctors discovered a blood clot in his lung.
