The Atlanta Falcons' wide receiver got a short but impactful message from an All-Pro wide receiver on the Patriots

The Patriots were in position to blow out the Falcons before a few self-inflicted errors. There's something to be said about that, Tom E. Curran says.

The Atlanta Falcons nearly overcame a 14-point deficit against the New England Patriots on Sunday, but a missed extra point attempt in the fourth quarter proved costly. The Patriots ultimately withstood the run, sending the Falcons home with a 24-23 loss, and a ton of questions about the coaching staff.

On the defensive side of the ball, Sam Roberts was the highest graded defender for either team, receiving an 89.7. Pass rusher Arnold Ebiketie (78.4), safety Xavier Watts (68.9), safety Jessie Bates (67.7) and nose tackle LaCale London (66.2) round out the top five for Atlanta’s defense.
