The Atlanta Falcons fell to the New England Patriots in Week 9 after a critical missed extra point by Parker Romo. The kicker spoke to the media after the game.

The New England Patriots and Atlanta Falcons are duking it out in Week 9 from Gillette Stadium. New England enters this matchup as one of the hottest teams in the NFL at the moment, riding a five-game wining streak while getting MVP caliber play from second-year quarterback Drake Maye.

New England Patriots' Drake Maye was unhappy with his play against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, although it resulted in a win.

Michael Penix Jr.'s three touchdown passes weren't enough for the Atlanta Falcons to upset the New England Patriots in Week 9. Despite an impressive comeback effort in the second half of Sunday's 24-23 loss, the Falcons found a way to squander what could have been a season-saving win.

The Patriots have won their last eight games against the Falcons, including the 34-28 overtime victory in Super Bowl 51 to cap the 2016 season after trailing 28-3 in the second half. Atlanta hasn’t won in Foxborough since 1998, when New England was playing in the since-demolished Foxboro Stadium.

The Patriots started early in the game with the defense shutting down the Falcons quickly on the first drive, and the offense torching Atlanta's No. 1-ranked passing defense with quarterback Drake Maye connecting on a 16-yard touchdown pass over the top to Demario Douglas.

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons with a hamstring injury.

Drake Maye threw two touchdown passes and had a pair of turnovers in an uneven performance, and the New England Patriots held on for their sixth straight victory, 24-23 over Atlanta on Sunday after Parker Romo missed a potential tying extra point for the Falcons.
