Taysom Hill blocked a punt to set up his 3-yard touchdown catch, later scored on a 30-yard run and the New Orleans Saints clinched their third straight NFC South title by beating the Atlanta Falcons 26-18 on Thursday night. With Julio Jones inactive due to a shoulder injury, the Falcons had too little offense to keep pace with Drew Brees and the Saints. The Saints (10-2) atoned for their 26-9 home loss to the Falcons on Nov. 10. The Saints took over at the Falcons 30, and four plays later Hill scored his first touchdown on the short pass from Brees. Ryan threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to Russell Gage with less than four minutes remaining.
