FLOWERY BRANCH — Falcons cornerback Desmond Trufant expects to be exhausted by the end of Atlanta's NFC South showdown Sunday at New Orleans. Drew Brees, the Saints' eight-time Pro Bowl quarterback, is renowned for sidestepping pressure and picking defenses apart. In the series, Brees is 13-4 with 35 touchdowns and 19 interceptions and has won seven of eight starts against Atlanta at the Superdome.
