ATLANTA – Tom Brady threw for 316 yards and two touchdowns as the New England Patriots held off the Atlanta Falcons in a 30-23 victory on Sunday Night Football.
The Patriots improved to 4-0 on the season, while Atlanta dropped to 1-3. The Falcons had a chance to tie the game late after a New England fumble gave possession back to the Falcons. But Matt Ryan and the offense fell just short of a game-tying touchdown.
Kevin Kugler and James Lofton called the action on WestwoodOne Sports.
