Falcons
Despite another loss, Falcons HC Dan Quinn told reporters that they have no plans to rest star players such as WR Julio Jones and QB Matt Ryan.
“I recognize fair question, but no,” Falcons coach Dan Quinn said, via Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com. “Part of playing and competing is going for it in the biggest way. So we’ll always take that approach.
“Now for a player that is injured like Julio, but not just him, for any of the players, to make sure, we’re always gonna make the best decisions for them.”

Saints
Taysom Hill caught and rushed for touchdowns during Thursday’s game and managed to block a punt. Following the game, Saints HC Sean Payton said they need to find more ways to get him involved.
“While he’s developing as a quarterback, there’s a lot of places he’s playing,” Payton said. “We probably need to keep getting him the ball even more.”
