The New England Patriots defeated the Atlanta Falcons 23-7 in a game that wasn’t as close as the score suggests. The Patriots played surprisingly smothering defense, while the offense was efficient enough to get the job done. There weren’t many fireworks in a game shrouded by fog, but New England won in all three facets of the game in an old school early-dynasty type of victory.
This is what we saw take place.
Brady finished the game 21 of 29 (72.4%) for 249 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 0 interceptions for a passer rating of 121.
