Three key matches: Saints at Falcons

Here are three key confrontations when the Saints (1-1) will face the Falcons (1-1) at 1pm. Sunday at the Mercedes-Benz stadium:

Saints LDE Jordan Cam vs Falcons RT Ryan Schraeder Matthews: At the last meeting, a 23-13 Saints victory on Dec. 24, Jordan went around the line and had two sacks, two tackles for defeats and four quarterback shots. He has won two sacks this season after scoring 13 career bags in 2017. Schraeder started the season strong. "I liked Jordan because he's not just a big guy," said Falcons coach Dan Quinn. "He has speed. … In general, you do not see that kind of fat guy playing outside so quickly.

Saints TE Benjamin Watson vs. Falcons LB DeVondre Campbell: It's not good when the head coach calls the whole group tight positions. Payton expressed dissatisfaction with the game of Watson and Josh Hill. They must improve their blockage in the running game. With Keanu Neal, Campbell is the best Falcons candidate to manage Watson. Jordan Richards strong security backup is no longer a security box to support the race. In nine games against the Falcons, Watson has 29 receptions for 321 yards and four touchdowns. In 2015, he tied a career high with 10 catches against the Falcons.

Saints WR Ted Ginn vs. Falcons CB Desmond Trufant: That's the speedster Ginn, who opened the game during the last encounter with a 54-yard touchdown. He escaped from Trufant on the Saints trademark by taking steps forward. The score allowed the Saints to win 13-0, and the Falcons fought uphill.
