The Patriots are taking on the 4-5 Falcons on the road this week. Here is how they can beat them.
Despite having won four games this season and briefly positioning themselves inside the NFC playoff picture just two weeks ago, the Atlanta Falcons are a pretty average team at best. They enter Week 11 with a 4-5 record, have one of the worst point differentials in football (-85), and do not stand out in any statistical categories.
And yet, they are team not to be taken lightly. That is especially true considering the circumstances of their upcoming matchup with the New England Patriots: the two teams are meeting on Thursday Night Football and on only three days of rest.
