The last time the Atlanta Falcon faced the New England Patriots they were chilling down the champagne in Super Bowl LI after opening up a 28-9 lead in the third quarter. The Patriots went on to score the next 31 points including the game-winning touchdown in overtime in the biggest come-from-behind victory in Super Bowl history. Football experts wondered how Atlanta would respond to such a crushing defeat heading into this season and the results have been mixed. The Falcons jumped out to a 3-0 start while combining to score a total of 87 points, but they have only managed to score 34 points in back-to-back losses to Buffalo and Miami to post a 3-2 record on the year.
Those same football experts predicted that New England could be even more dominant this season after winning its last 10 games en route to that Super Bowl title. A stunning loss at home to Kansas City in their season opener was followed up by another loss at home to Carolina as part of a shaky 4-2 start. The Patriots still have the No. 1-ranked offense in the NFL in total yards gained, but their defense is dead last in the league when it comes to total yards allowed.
Something is going to have to give this Sunday night at Foxborough between two teams still trying to find themselves heading in the seventh week of the season.
