I got a chance to speak with John Rooke and Erik Scalavino on Patriots Playbook to discuss Sunday’s huge matchup between Atlanta and New England.
We talked about this being a "statement" game for the Falcons, who have a chance to establish themselves firmly among the league’s elite with a victory in New England. We talked lots about Matt Ryan and Tony Gonzalez. We talked about the rest of Atlanta’s offense and plenty about their defense. I don’t recall talking much about special teams.
But we broke this game down for a pretty long time and those are the highlights I can remember. You can hear the whole interview by clicking here. And apologies if my voice sounds a little scratchy, but spending last weekend in rainy Atlanta has left me without my full voice.
