The NFL Week 13 kicks off with a Thursday Night Football matchup that will pin the Atlanta Falcons against the New Orleans Saints at 8:20 pm ET.

The Falcons (10-1) are tied with the Houston Texans  for the best record in the NFL, but their only loss came two weeks ago to the Saints.

In the contest the Falcons were rolling along at 8-0 when their run ended with a 31-27 road loss to the Saints Nov. 11. The Falcons were held to 46 rushing yards, settled for two field goals inside the red zone and turned the ball over on downs late in the game from inside the Saints' 5-yard line.

Though Atlanta bounced back from that defeat with two close victories to maintain the NFC's best record, some Falcons believe they were the better team at the Superdome.

"It's not like they came out here and won a game," said Atlanta receiver Roddy White, who caught seven passes for 114 yards in that contest. "I think we kind of gave it to them."

Meanwhile, the Saints (5-6) need a win today to keep up in the NFC playoff race.

The Saints had won three straight games before falling at home to the San Francisco 49ers, 31-21, on Sunday. New Orleans is a game behind Tampa Bay and the Seattle Seahawks, who are tied for the final NFC Wild Card spot.
