It was a short week for the Falcons as they didn’t play well as the Dallas Cowboys defeated the Falcons 43-3 last week in Texas. Thursday Night Football is tonight and the Falcons get to host the New England Patriots on primetime at Mercedes Benz Stadium. It will be primetime for the Patriots (6-4) while they are surging upward coming off a four game win streak, and with the 10th best offense in the league while the Falcons (4-5) are playing normal Falcon football. Not really inspiring, but when they do play inspiring, they turn around to a dud of a game like last week in Dallas.
Tonight is a throwback night for the Falcons where the team will be wearing their 1966 uniforms and changing up the field to display the old, but better logo than they currently have.
Falcons still have a slight chance of making the playoffs, but a lot of things will have to take place like winning football games.
