"The Patriots host the Falcons in Week 9, which marks just their third matchup against Atlanta since the memorable Super Bowl LI comeback. Roughly nine years since that Super Bowl, both teams are almost entirely different, but the Patriots carry a pair of long winning streaks entering Sunday's game. They've won five in a row with Drake Maye, and the Patriots have won seven in a row against the Falcons."
"Penix has had a pretty rough go of it when the Falcons have had to play in an outdoor environment through the first two seasons of his career. He's lost all three starts he's made at outdoor stadiums, completing just 53.1 percent of his passes for 660 yards, two touchdowns, and three interceptions with a 65.5 passer rating."
The Falcons enter Week 9 with a 3-4 record aiming to spark a playoff run. The Patriots are playing their best football since their dynasty days and will rekindle the Super Bowl LI comeback memory against Atlanta. The Week 9 meeting is the third matchup between the teams since that Super Bowl roughly nine years ago. The Patriots carry two long streaks entering the game, having won five straight with Drake Maye and seven straight against the Falcons. Michael Penix returns as the Falcons' starting quarterback but has struggled in outdoor and road games, losing all three outdoor starts and posting a 53.1% completion rate, 660 yards, two touchdowns, three interceptions and a 65.5 passer rating.
