Stay here for live updates and analysis from the Patriots vs. Falcons game in N.F.L. Week 7:
A roughing the passer penalty kept a drive alive, and Tom Brady made the Atlanta Falcons pay for it with an 11-yard touchdown pass to Brandin Cooks that has the New England Patriots up 7-0 in this rematch of last season’s Super Bowl.
It was a quiet start to the game, with neither team scoring in the first quarter, but the Patriots finally got on board with a seven-play 74-yard drive, though they needed some help to keep things going.
