First place in the mediocre NFC South, the NFL’s only division to lack a team with a winning record, will be on the line when the New Orleans Saints visit the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, Nov. 26. The game will be live streamed on DirecTV Stream (free trial) and fuboTV (free trial).

The Saints (5-5) can strengthen their hold on first place by beating the Falcons (4-6). Atlanta has a three-game losing streak, leaving coach Arthur Smith surprised but grateful his team remains in contention in the weak division.

Even with seven games remaining, Smith acknowledged this is a must-win game for the Falcons. It’s also an important game for the coach, who posted 7-10 records in each of his first two seasons and is under pressure to produce a winner and end Atlanta’s five-year playoff drought.

Each team is coming off bye weeks that were important to quarterbacks Derek Carr in New Orleans and Desmond Ridder in Atlanta.

The off week gave Carr an opportunity to recover after being knocked out of a 27-19 loss to Minnesota on Nov. 12 with a concussion and shoulder injury.

Carr was removed from the Saints’ injury report on Thursday after participating in a full practice on Wednesday.

Jameis Winston threw two touchdown passes and two late interceptions after taking over for Carr against the Vikings.

The Falcons also faced uncertainty at quarterback during the bye. Smith said Monday that Ridder would be reinstated as the starter.

Veteran Taylor Heinicke started the last two games before leaving the Falcons’ 25-23 loss at Arizona on Nov. 12 with a hamstring injury. Heinicke was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday. Logan Woodside is the other option as Ridder’s backup.

When is Saints-Falcons?

The Falcons and Saints play at noon (1 p.m. ET) on Sunday, Nov. 26.
