The New England Patriots (6-4) will travel to Atlanta on Thursday night to face the Falcons (4-5) during the first primetime game of Week 11.

The Week 5 win over the Jets in London was designated a home game for the Falcons.
Patriots Tuesday injury report (changes from Monday in bold): DL Deatrich Wise Jr. doesn’t practice due to illness, and after being projected to not practice Monday, RB Damien Harris, returner Gunner Olszewski and LB Josh Uche were limited. https://t.co/QVBfsIE4Hb
The Patriots have a defense that allows only 17.7 points per game, the second-fewest in the league. Atlanta's offense will have their work cut out for them as they are 25th in total offense. The Patriots easily defeated the Cleveland Browns this past Sunday, and the extra yardage (452 yards vs. 217 yards) paid off. The game was all but over by the conclusion of the third quarter, by which point New England had a 31-7 lead. RB Rhamondre Stevenson and WR Kendrick Bourne were among the key playmakers for the Patriots.
Falcons injury report:
OUT: TE Hayden Hurst; LB Daren Bates; CB Kendall Sheffield.
QUESTIONABLE: RB/WR Cordarrelle Patterson, S Jaylinn Hawkins
On the other hand, it is hard to envision a worse defeat than the 43-3 game the Falcons endured versus the Dallas Cowboys in Week 10. Atlanta was in a difficult spot by halftime, with the score already at 36-3. QB Matt Ryan had a game to remember, but not in the way you want to be remembered. He failed to get a single touchdown and he tossed two interceptions with a passing completion percentage of just 42.86%.
