After a disheartening loss last week, the Atlanta Falcons are looking to rebound against the team they lost to in Super Bowl 51 on Sunday Night Football. They will be headed north to play the New England Patriots in Gillette Stadium on national television.
While the Pats haven’t been the same dominate team they were a year ago, the Falcons are also struggling to find the same form that took them to the championship game last February. They are fresh off back-to-back losses to AFC East opponents — with a bye week sandwiched in between. For New England, they’re coming off a tougher-than-expected win over the New York Jets.
