FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — The Atlanta Falcons head north to play the New England Patriots on Sunday at Gillette Stadium.
The Falcons are 3-4 and coming off back-to-back losses entering this Week 9 contest. The Patriots at 6-2 and riding five straight wins. So, one team is trying to flip the script, while the other is trying to maintain momentum.
"A (Mike) Vrabel-coached team is always going to be great," Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said. "They're always going to play sound. They're always going to play really fundamentally fast. And we've got to be ready and prepared for that."
