Drew Brees and the  New Orleans Saints guaranteed themselves a spot in the playoffs for the second year in a row with a Monday night win over Matt Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons.  It was not a pretty win, but a win, is a win, is a win.

The Falcons (12-3) had a chance to wrap up their first division crown since 2004 and home-field advantage in the playoffs. But Brees and the Saints (11-4) are still in the mix, making up for a bitter loss to their NFC South rival in the Week 3.

It was not an easy win as Brees had to shake off back to back interceptions before driving 90 yards in 13 plays for the winning score. The last time that New Orleans went to the playoffs in back-to-back seasons was in the 1991 and 1992 seasons.
