ATLANTA — The Atlanta Falcons’ goals for the regular season — a division title and home-field advantage through the NFC playoffs — remain in reach. What’s been lost is that feeling of invincibility, especially if they face the New Orleans Saints again in a few weeks.

“We’ve got to take a long look at ourselves,” John Abraham said.

Drew Brees threw a 6-yard touchdown pass to Jimmy Graham with less than 3Z\x minutes remaining and return to the postseason with a 17-14 victory over Atlanta Monday night.

New Orleans (11-4) snapped the Falcons’ eight-game winning streak and stopped them from wrapping up the NFC South and home field all the way up to the Super Bowl.

If the teams meet again in the playoffs, a distinct possibility, the Saints know they are capable of winning even at the Georgia Dome — a huge psychological boost in late December.

“Here we are, having won seven of eight,” Brees said. “It doesn’t matter whether we’re playing on the road or at home. We’re battle-tested.”

OK, so all is not lost for Atlanta (12-3). Far from it. The Falcons merely need to beat Carolina (2-13) at home on the final week of the season to wrap up their first NFC South title since 2004 and the top seed in the conference.
