The Saints had 13 points going into the 4th quarter. Saints scored 2 TDs in the last 3 minutes of the game to make it look respectable.
Were still moving the ball all game. And still at the end of the day gave up 32 points and 470 yards.

Their defense gave up 20 points to the Chiefs, who scored on a defensive TD and a 2 point conversion return.
Gave up 389 yards to the Chiefs too.

Not surprisingly, the Falcons defense as a whole has gotten better as the season progressed. Much better, in fact. After allowing 28.3 points a game in the 10 outings before their bye, they’ve given up 20.4 points an outing since. Their total takeaways are up from 11 to 13 and their passer rating allowed has gone from nearly 101 to under 78.
They only had 6 games after their bye week and 2 of them were against the 49ers and Rams. These teams pretty much made every defense look like world beaters last year. Of course that would help their numbers. Especially the Rams who average a laughable 260 yards a game.

No doubt they played very well against him.
Not trying to go back and forth on this all day but the defense was not some great unit. They weren't very good at all.

I'm not saying they are a great unit. I'm saying that they are a young unit that improved tremendously throughout the year, started forcing turnovers, and complemented their explosive offense well. Similar to the 2009 Saints D who weren't good on paper, but

Going into the 4th, the Saints had 220 yards and 13 points. The Saints went without scoring from 3:40 in the 2nd until 12:41 in the 4th. The Saints scored a TD with ~1 minute left in the 1st quarter, and didn't score another one until under 12 minutes were left in the 4th quarter. The next drive, Atlanta picked the ball off.
The Saints put up more yards and points in the 4th (down 25 funny enough), than they did in the first 3 quarters.
