Overview
- New England improved to 7-2 and stayed atop the AFC East, extending its winning streak to six games.
- Drake Maye went 19-of-29 for 259 yards with two touchdowns and one interception, was strip-sacked before halftime and sacked six times, and sealed the game with a 17-yard third-down completion to Hunter Henry.
- Maye’s run of at least 200 passing yards with a 100-plus passer rating reached seven straight games, a streak that places him alongside Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Patrick Mahomes and Aaron Rodgers.
- Falcons kicker Parker Romo missed the potential tying extra point after Drake London’s third touchdown; Atlanta later stalled near midfield following an intentional grounding penalty.
- With Rhamondre Stevenson out (toe), TreVeyon Henderson logged 14 carries for 55 yards and Terrell Jennings scored his first NFL rushing touchdown; Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) and Christian Elliss (hip) exited, and Christian Gonzalez left with a head injury but said afterward he was good.
