Cameron Jordan has been an Atlanta Falcons fan's worst nightmare. The New Orleans Saints defensive end has more sacks against the Falcons than any other team in his career.

All of those sacks came against Matt Ryan, until today. Jordan brought down Kirk Cousins in the fourth quarter of Week 10. It's the first sack he's registered against the Falcons since Ryan left the team in 2022.

Both Jordan and Ryan are iron men, so they never missed a game against each other. From the time Jordan was drafted in 2011, he and Ryan squared off 22 times.

Jordan registered 23 sacks in those 22 games. Jordan then went on a five game drought against the Falcons from that point. His longest drought prior to this was three games without a sack against Atlanta to start his career.

Jordan ended his drought with a big fourth quarter sack in what could possibly be his last game against the hated rival. It only feels right.
