Darren Rizzi picked up his first win as an NFL head coach Sunday as the New Orleans Saints defeated the Atlanta Falcons, 20–17, and tasted victory for the first time since September.
It was Rizzi's first game in the interim head coaching role for the Saints, who fired Dennis Allen amid the team's seven-game losing streak. That streak was snapped Sunday, in part thanks to the level of help Allen offered Rizzi after his ousting from the organization.
