The Atlanta Falcons will take on the New England Patriots Sunday in Houston for Super Bowl LI.

They’ll come into the match-up boasting an 11-5 regular season record, good enough for the No. 2 seed in the NFC. They have MVP hopeful Matt Ryan leading them as quarterback, as well as as receiver Julio Jones and running back Devonta Freeman to help lead the league’s highest-scoring offense.
