ATLANTA: Falcons rookie Matt Ryan turned in another solid performance as Atlanta won for the fourth time in five games to keep them very much in the play-off race after a 34-20 win at New Orleans. Ryan threw two more touchdown passes as his opposite number, Drew Brees, had a day to forget for Saints.
Brees threw a season-high three interceptions, the last of them returned 95 yards for a touchdown by Chevis Jackson as Falcons went out to 6-3.
Ryan found Roddy White for a 16-yard touchdown on the Falcons' second possession, then Jerious Norwood ran a short pass 67 yards for a touchdown in the opening minute of the fourth quarter for a 27-6 lead.
Jackson then finished off New Orleans with the second-longest interception return for a touchdown in Falcons' history timing perfectly his interception of a pass to Devery Henderson at the five-yard line and running back the rest. The win brought up Falcons' best start on their home field since the 1998 Super Bowl season, they are now 4-0 at the Georgia Dome.
