The Falcons were teetering on the edge of being another Saints blowout victim.
They survived a flurry, regrouped and then battled back to stand toe-to-toe with their NFC South rivals before coming up short.
The Saints were not in the clear until running back Pierre Thomas did a somersault into the endzone with 3:03 left in the game.
The Saints held on to prevail 35-27 over the Falcons before 70,088 fans on Monday night at the Superdome.
The Saints remain the only undefeated team in the NFC and go to 7-0. The Falcons dropped to 4-3 and fall three games behind the Saints with nine games to play.
