What they're saying nationally about the Saints' 24-15 loss to the Falcons

Here are some of the top headlines from around the sports media outlets on the Internet.

ATLANTA — Injuries to the receiving corps continue to plague New Orleans with the Saints losing both Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed during the Week 12 loss to the Falcons in Atlanta on Sunday.

Shaheed left the game in the second quarter with a thigh injury and was listed as questionable to return, while Olave was ruled out due to a concussion he sustained early in the third.

Without Olave, Shaheed to close out the game, as well as Michael Thomas, who was placed on injured reserve last week, quarterback Derek Carr went 24 of 38 for 304 yards with no touchdowns and on interception that resulted in a Falcons 92-yard pick-six by Jessie Bates in the first quarter.

With the win, the Falcons (5-6) now enter a tie with the Saints (5-6) atop the NFC South standings – one game ahead of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-7).

Saints head coach Dennis Allen assessed Carr's performance as saying "some good and some bad" in the post-game press conference.

Here is what some of the national pundits had to say about the Saints:

After two road games bookmarking a bye week, the Saints return home to host the NFC North-leading Detroit Lions (8-3) on Sunday, Dec. 3.

Kicking is set for noon inside the Caesars Superdome.
