He was able to have a 10-yard scoring run in the first quarter of play and a 26-yard TD reception in the fourth quarter.

Falcons’ safety Jessie Bates III intercepted Saints QB Derek Carr and returned it 92 yards for a touchdown in the first quarter. That was Bates’ 18th career interception, his fourth this season. This was his second career pick-six, first this season. In the Falcons record book, Bates’ 92-yard pick six will go down as the third-longest interception for a touchdown and the fourth-longest return in general.
