Game Recap: Atlanta Falcons 24, New Orleans Saints 10 | 2025 NFL Week 12

Check out the game action photos from the New Orleans Saints game against the Atlanta Falcons for Week 12 of the 2025 NFL season on Nov. 23, 2025 at the Caesars Superdome.

The Atlanta Falcons defeated the New Orleans Saints 24-10 on Sunday at the Caesars Superdome.

The loss dropped New Orleans to 2-9 while the Falcons improved to 4-7.

The Saints were attempting a comeback in the fourth quarter when Atlanta quarterback Kirk Cousins threw a 49-yard touchdown pass to Darnell Mooney to put the game away. It was Cousins' second touchdown pass. Atlanta added three field goals.

The Saints and rookie quarterback Tyler Shough were able to move the ball but couldn't get in the end zone, especially in the second half. The Saints were stopped on fourth-and-1 from the 1 and then had to kick a field goal after not being able to score from first-and-goal from the 1. The 33-yard field goal by Blake Grupe partly made up for two earlier missed kicks.

Shough was 30 of 43 for 243 yards with one interception. Rookie running back Devin Neal saw a ton of action after star Alvin Kamara left the game in the first half with a knee injury. Neal had seven carries for 18 yards and caught five passes for 43 yards. Taysom Hill also saw increased snaps, carrying 10 times for 17 yards and attempting two passes. Receiver Chris Olave had nine receptions for 70 yards.

Safety Justin Reid scored his team's only touchdown on a 49-yard pick-six in the first half. It was the Saints' first pick-six since Tyrann Mathieu's against New England in 2023. It is Reid's first interception with the Saints.

Cameron Jordan recorded the 126th sack of his career. Chase Young had the fourth sack of his season and Isaiah Stalbirdadded a sack in the second quarter. Jordan is now 19th all-time in sacks in NFL history.

The Saints will play at the Miami Dolphins (4-7) on Sunday, Nov. 30.
