Patriots defense clamps down in 25-0 NFL win over Falcons

New England's defense delivered another dominant performance as the Patriots beat the Atlanta Falcons 25-0 Thursday for a fifth straight NFL victory.

New England's Kyle Van Noy intercepted a pass from Falcons backup quarterback Josh Rosen and returned it 35 yards for a touchdown to cap the win.

Van Noy had two of the Patriots' four sacks of Atlanta starting quarterback Matt Ryan, who was intercepted twice in another dismal outing that came on the heels of a 43-3 rout by the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.
