"The game was closer than it needed to be with Atlanta capitalizing on a pair of Drake Maye turnovers. The Falcons took advantage of Drake London's height advantage over Marcus Jones in the red zone twice for a pair of touchdowns, but it wasn't enough to keep up with Maye's production. The second-year quarterback withstood six sacks and several more hits and unleashed several big throws for explosive gains."
"For the third time in the last four weeks, Douglas hauled in a catch of 40-plus yards. This week, Maye hit Douglas in stride for a 58-yarder in the second quarter. The speedy slot receiver stumbled, slashed, and juked his way into the red-zone setting up a score. He opened the scoring with a 17-yard catch from Maye on a wheel route. Sunday marked Douglas's first career 100-yard game. A breakout performance for the young receiver."
New England extended its win streak to six with a close victory over Atlanta. Drake Maye withstood six sacks and multiple hits while producing explosive downfield throws despite committing a pair of turnovers. DeMario Douglas recorded his first career 100-yard game, including a 58-yard reception and a 17-yard wheel-route touchdown, emerging as a deep threat. Atlanta converted red-zone opportunities by targeting Drake London over Marcus Jones for two touchdowns. New England's defense limited Atlanta's rushing attack to minimal yardage. Rhamondre Stevenson missed the game, Terrell Jennings scored his first NFL touchdown, and K'Lavon Chaisson led Patriots' backfield disruption with multiple tackles for loss and a sack.
