by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2017 1:33:44 AM
Gostkowski's 29-yard field goal is good and #Patriots expand lead to 10-0.

by Jim McBride via twitter 10/23/2017 1:34:14 AM

The Butler did it

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2017 1:41:21 AM
4th and 6. Quinn going for it. Determined to prove that being aggressive is the way to go

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2017 1:42:31 AM
Matty Ice is Matty Melted tonight. Horrible overthrow on fourth down. Now Patriots have great field position

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2017 1:45:28 AM
Getting pretty foggy in here #FogBowl

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2017 1:47:06 AM
Fog is getting thicker here at Gillette. #Patriots t.co

by Jim McBride via twitter 10/23/2017 1:50:35 AM
Touchdown, James White. He does that against the Falcons

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2017 1:52:54 AM
Patriots take a 17-0 lead with 0:21 left 2Q. Dan Quinn's decision to go for it on 4th down backfires

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2017 1:53:50 AM
James White with the 2-yard TD catch from Tom Brady and it's #Patriots , 17-0.

by Jim McBride via twitter 10/23/2017 1:54:16 AM
Patriots had 0 points, 38 yards in 1Q, and 17 points, 181 yards in 2Q

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2017 1:54:50 AM
Halftime, 17-0 Patriots. Falcons are melting into a puddle

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2017 2:01:40 AM
It's pretty foggy down there, but I think the Patriots are about to kick off to start the 3Q

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2017 2:11:52 AM
The player shadowing Julio Jones is Duron Harmon. He plays over the top of him wherever he lines up

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2017 2:15:32 AM
I love Peter. He is the nicest guy. But I have to admit this is funny. twitter.com/MikeFromWoburn…

by Christopher Gasper via twitter 10/23/2017 2:18:03 AM
Matt Ryan continues to overthrow his receivers. He's not pleased with himself

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2017 2:19:27 AM
Matt Bryant 36 FG is no good. DOINK. He has missed from 36 and 37 tonight

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2017 2:20:16 AM
Bryant's 36-yard FG is clanged off the upright and the #Patriots keep their 17-0 lead.

by Jim McBride via twitter 10/23/2017 2:20:54 AM
Matt Ryan has overthrown at least three receivers in the end zone. He's not even giving his guys a chance to make plays. It's surprising.

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2017 2:25:01 AM
Offensive line is doing a great job of giving Brady a clean pocket. Good night for the guys up front

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2017 2:27:11 AM
Patriots say DT Malcom Brown has an ankle injury and is questionable to return. Had a great game in run D last week

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2017 2:28:26 AM
My wife says "it looks like they're playing in heaven" #fogbowl2017

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2017 2:29:09 AM
Third and goal from the 1, Gillislee is stuffed. Had a huge hole up the middle but bounced outside. Short yardage running has been bad

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2017 2:31:31 AM
Gostkowski 21-yard FG moves #Patriots lead to 20-0.

by Jim McBride via twitter 10/23/2017 2:32:05 AM
I think the Patriots made the FG, but I can't see. Patriots lead 20-0 with 4:12 left 3Q. Scoring drive: 13 plays, 71 yards in 6:23

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2017 2:32:07 AM

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2017 2:36:37 AM
Hogan is back on the sideline, but not holding his helmet

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2017 2:43:33 AM
Who is this team and what have they done with the Patriots defense?

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2017 2:47:56 AM
Falcons 1 for 8 on third down and 1 for 3 on fourth down

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2017 2:50:19 AM
Atlanta returned 10 starters from the No. 7 scoring offense in NFL history. What the hell happened?

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2017 2:54:37 AM
Gostkowski drills a 38 yarder, and it's Patriots 23, Falcons 0 with 9:15 left 4Q. Not quite ready to call it, but we're close
