The New Orleans Saints have clinched their first NFC South title since 2011 thanks to the Atlanta Falcons defeating the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, moving the team to 11-5 on the season.
The Saints will now face the Panthers in the first round of the playoffs as the No. 4 seed in the NFC, while the Falcons will match up with the Los Angeles Rams.
New Orleans lost their regular-season finale to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 31-24 on Sunday, but needed either a win or a Panthers loss to clinch the division.
