The Falcons, who had not won a road game on "Monday Night Football" since Sept. 10, 1976, put on a show inside the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans.

The Falcons' 45-32 win over NFC South rival Saints was highlighted  by a huge night on offense and a few key defensive plays.

1. Rookie linebacker Deion Jones' 90-yard interception returned for a touchdown | Jeff Schultz's take

2. Tevin Coleman's three-TD performance | Coleman runs wild over Saints

3. Devonta Freeman's stiff arm to shed a tackler | Freeman on the win, run game

4. Matt Ryan's trip and fall on a run block | What Matt Ryan said of the win

5. Dwight Freeney's first sack as a Falcon | Rookie Neal makes strong debut
