Atlanta Falcons recorded their 11th win of the NFL season thanks to a dominant display from their defence against the New Orleans Saints.
Saints quarterback Drew Brees threw five interceptions for the first time in his career as the side slipped to a 13-23 loss.
It was also the first time in 55 games that Brees failed to throw a touchdown pass.
Touchdowns from Michael Turner and Tony Gonzalez helped the top-ranked side in the NFC conference to a 17-0 lead before the end of the second quarter.
Mark Ingram got the Saints on the scoreboard before half time, while Garrett Hartley added two field goals in the third quarter.
The Falcons' running game was too good for the Saints defence, Turner and Jacquizz Rodgers rushed for over 120 yards combined.
Atlanta will be crowned NFC South champions and secure their place in the playoffs if the Tampa Bay Buccaneers lose to the Denver Broncos this Sunday.
