Week 4 of the 2026 NFL season will come to a close in New Orleans on Monday night with a prime-time matchup between the Falcons and Saints.
The Falcons enter Monday night well rested, having not played since last Thursday when they took down the Packers 35–14. The victory was not only Atlanta’s first win of the season, but also the return of quarterback Michael Penix Jr. to the lineup after he tore his ACL in 2025. The 26-year-old completed 72% of his passes on 10.2 yards per attempt for 256 yards, one touchdown and one interception in his debut.
