Looking for a second 6-0 opening in four years, the Atlanta Falcons try to win consecutive road games against the New Orleans Saints for the first time in 13 seasons Thursday night.

After Washington kicked a tying field goal at the end of regulation Sunday, Robert Alford returned an interception 59 yards in overtime to give the Falcons a 25-19 victory.

Despite three turnovers against the Redskins, Atlanta is tied for fifth in the league with a plus-5 turnover ratio. Julio Jones failed to record a receiving touchdown for the second straight week after totaling four in the first three but recovered a Devonta Freeman fumble in the end zone for a score Sunday.

The Falcons are 3-9 at New Orleans since last winning back-to-back games there in 2001 and '02.

New Orleans is trying to avoid its worst start since going 1-7 in 1999.

They rank last in the NFL with 409.0 yards allowed per game, are tied for 29th at 28.6 points given up and tied for 28th with a minus-5 turnover differential.

Drew Brees, still dealing with a shoulder problem, is 7-2 against the Falcons at New Orleans but threw two INTs and a TD in last season's loss there.
