ATLANTA (AP) — Mac Jones threw a 19-yard scoring pass to Nelson Agholor for the game’s only offensive touchdown and the New England defense took care of the rest.
The result was a 25-0 shutout of the Atlanta Falcons for the Patriots’ fifth straight victory.

New England wasn’t nearly as dominating as four days earlier, when the Patriots blew out the Browns 45-7.
But it was good enough against a feeble Falcons offense that hasn’t scored a touchdown in nearly nine quarters.
The @Patriots defense came to play.
4 INTs
4 sacks
165 total yards allowed
0 points allowed#ForeverNE #NEvsATL pic.twitter.com/O7fsfL7TK2— NFL (@NFL) November 19, 2021
Nick Folk booted four field goals and Kyle Van Noy had two sacks and a late interception return for a touchdown.
