But the second of those victories was a 23-20 road win over the Buffalo Bills that served as a statement game for the Pats and for young quarterback Drake Maye, whose rise into the NFL’s upper tier at the position has fueled New England’s rise. The Patriots are 4.5-point favorites this weekend and are likely to be favored in three of their next four as the buildup to a rematch with the Bills. The shine has all but faded from the Falcons’ own statement win over the Bills (24-14) with back-to-back losses to the San Francisco 49ers (20-10) and Miami Dolphins (34-10) that were marked by offensive woes. Injuries to quarterback Michael Penix Jr. and top wide receiver Drake London fed into those issues, particularly in last week’s loss to Miami. But both players are set to suit up against New England, which inspires confidence that an Atlanta attack with young talent across the board can get back on track.
