Patriots vs. Falcons live score, updates, highlights from NFL ‘Thursday Night Football’ game

Rookie quarterback Mac Jones will lead the Patriots into Atlanta against Matt Ryan and the Falcons on Thursday night in a rematch of Super Bowl 53.

The Patriots (6-4) have won the last four matchups against the Falcons (4-5), including the 2017 Super Bowl in which Atlanta famously blew a 28-3 lead.

MAC JONES’ 2021 STATS: How Pats QB’s rookie season compares to Tom Brady’s

In last week’s 45-7 Patriots win over the Browns, Jones completed 19 of 23 passes for 198 yards and a season-high three touchdowns. Kendrick Bourne led New England’s receivers with four receptions for 98 yards and a touchdown, while Rhamondre Stevenson rushed for 100 yards and two scores. New England’s leading rusher, Damien Harris, missed the game with a concussion but is back in the lineup Thursday.

Jones will look to continue his hot streak against a Falcons defense that is 17th in the league against the pass. Deion Jones, Dante Fowler Jr. and Jacob Tuioti-Mariner lead Atlanta with two sacks each. 

Ryan, meanwhile, will try to build momentum for the Falcons’ offense after the team’s 43-3 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday. He completed just 9 of 21 passes and was intercepted twice in the defeat. Atlanta will be without leading rusher Cordarrelle Patterson, who will miss the matchup with an ankle injury he suffered against Dallas.
