Patriots Pummel Falcons in Sunday Night Football Nightmare

There was no record comeback this time as the New England Patriots and Atlanta Falcons did battle once again.

New England got the best of Atlanta by a 23-7 score. The Patriots won the battles on offense, defense and special teams.

New England recorded a 34-28 overtime victory in Super Bowl LI, and while Patriots head coach Bill Belichick and Falcons coach Dan Quinn tried to downplay the rematch, the specter of that game was hard to ignore as the two teams took the field at Gillette Stadium.

The Patriots started the season poorly but are now 5-2, while the Falcons have dropped three games in a row and are 3-3.
