Falcons Get First Loss of Season 26–10

The Atlanta Fal­cons lose their first game of the sea­son as the New Eng­land Patri­ots defense con­trolled the game.

Fal­cons moved the ball well on their first offen­sive pos­ses­sion but had to set­tle for a field goal after Brian Finneran slipped and was unable to retrieve a 3rd down pass from Matt Ryan inside the red zone.

The Patri­ots Offense responded mov­ing the ball down field. Tom Brady was shaky miss­ing a cou­ple of passes includ­ing a wide open Randy Moss for an easy touch­down. They stalled out at the three yard line on a third and goal and tied the game up 3–3 on a field goal.

New England’s front line then took over in the sec­ond quar­ter by estab­lish­ing the run­ning game. Fred Tay­lor ran the ball effort­lessly against the porous Fal­cons defense. Fred Tay­lor capped off a 6 play 51 yard drive with a 8 yard rush­ing touch­down and the 64th of his career.

Matt Ryan responded with a sharp 18 yard pass play to Michael Jenk­ins. The Fal­cons elected to not go for a 52 yard goal on a fourth down. Instead the went for it on 4th and 3 and con­verted. Matt Ryan drilled Michael Jenk­ins on a long pass to the Patriot’s two yard line. Michael Turner then pounded the ball in for his sec­ond touch­down of the year tying the game up at 10–10.

With the Fal­cons on the move, Michael Turner fum­bled the ball turn­ing it over to the Patri­ots. Patri­ots moved the ball down field but Joey Gal­loway dropped a per­fect pass from Tom Brady near the end zone. Patri­ots had to set­tle for a 33 yard field goal tak­ing a 13–10 lead into halftime.

The sec­ond half started as the Pats had no trou­ble mov­ing the ball inside the Fal­cons red zone. The Fal­cons defense rose to the occa­sion hold­ing the Patri­ots to another field goal.

Patri­ots elected to go for it on fourth down a cou­ple of times includ­ing one deep in their ter­ri­tory. They were suc­cess­ful both times but the Fal­cons defense held them to another Stephen Gostkowski field goal.

Fal­cons offense failed to exe­cute on their first two pos­ses­sions of the 4th quar­ter. Tom Brady made them pay with a 36 touch­down bomb to tight end Chris Baker. It was the 200th career touch­down pass for Tom Brady.

The story of this game was New England’s defense and the Fal­cons inabil­ity to run the foot­ball. The Atlanta Fal­cons were held to less than 300 yards of total offense.
