Sunday Night Football 2013 - NFL Sept. 29 Scores, Results and Winners: Tom Brady, New England Patriots Topple Falcons in Atlanta
New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick keeps finding new players and new ways to win as his team eked out another victory in Atlanta Sunday night to stay unbeaten at 4-0.
On this particular night, quarterback Tom Brady decided to target Kenbrell Thomas and stuck with his plan all along. Thomas racked up six receptions for 127 yards including an 18-yard touchdown catch to help the Patriots pull away from the Falcons in the fourth quarter.
"He's an impressive young player," Brady said. "It's really rare to see a young player step in with that kind of confidence to make plays and make things happen out there."
Patriots receiver Julian Edelman also had an impressive game with his seven receptions and 118 yards, which was topped off with a 49-yard catch.
On the other side of the ball, the Falcons turned to their passing game and quarterback Matt Ryan threw for 421 yards and two touchdowns. He threw one interception to Aqib Talib.
Coach Belichick was rather pleased with what he saw from his team on Sunday night as the Patriots continue to tap into new resources in order to find a way to win.
"It's a good example of what it takes to win in this league and that's sixty minutes of good football," he said. "We've got to do a better job of finishing out the game, but we did a good job of putting ourselves in that position, a seventeen point lead with six minutes to go in the game."
The Patriots will now travel to Cincinnati to take on the Bengals while the Falcons will stay at home to host the Jets next week on Monday Night Football.
