Patriots couldn't have asked for a better matchup with Falcons falling apart
"The New England Patriots had an excellent time in Week 8, scoring 30 points offensively while the defense scored two more on a safety to secure a 32-13 win over the Browns. There were ups, like the third quarter offensive explosion, and downs, like their inability to stop Myles Garrett, but all in all, it was an encouraging day. They extended their winning streak to five games, the longest active streak in the NFL."
"While Sunday was a good one for New England, the same can't be said for the Atlanta Falcons. The Georgians were missing their starting QB, Michael Penix, so they turned to veteran Kirk Cousins as relief. The $180 million man was unable to come up with much of anything, passing for under 200 yards and scoring ten points as the then one-win Dolphins trounced Atlanta by a score of 34-10."
"Offensively, the unit is talented on paper. They have four top-eight picks in Penix, Bijan, London, and Kyle Pitts, but they haven't meshed nearly as well as fans might have hoped. This season, they're 28th in PPG, scoring just 17.1 a game. That's fewer than Carolina, the Jets, and the Giants. Defensively, they've been better, allowing the 13th fewest PPG, ahead of Tampa Bay and Cleveland."
The New England Patriots beat the Browns 32-13, scoring 30 offensive points and adding a safety. The Patriots showed a strong third-quarter surge but also struggled to contain Myles Garrett. The victory extended New England's winning streak to five games, the longest active streak in the NFL. The Atlanta Falcons lost 34-10 to the Dolphins without starter Michael Penix, relying on Kirk Cousins, who passed for under 200 yards. Bijan Robinson averaged 2.8 yards per carry. Atlanta ranks 28th in points per game despite a talented roster, while the defense ranks 13th.
