Falcons: Not worried about preseason rush attack

New Orleans broke the NFL record for passing yards, but finished 6th in rushing, and they outrushed Atlanta by about 300 yards.

That's very misleading. The saints time of possession was greater than ours and when your team is up by 27 points you're going to be running the ball the entire 4th quarter.

The obscene passing and blowout scoring allowed them to run more. But they scored less rushing TDs and had a lower YPC than us.
