The most highly anticipated regular season game is here. It comes at an opportune time for both teams. Bill Belichick and Dan Quinn realize that their respective teams have underperformed this season. While New England’s defense continues to allow big plays, the Falcons’ offense is struggling to produce them. It’s been a surprising turn of events for both teams, as they should be playing much better.
There is positive news for the Falcons heading into this pivotal game. Mohamed Sanu and Courtney Upshaw are expected to return on Sunday. The offense started to stumble following Sanu’s hamstring injury against Buffalo.
