That challenge will center on the Falcons’ ability to reestablish their run game, which has gone sorely missing as the team works to end their three-game losing streak.

The Patriots and Falcons play Sunday in Week 9 of the 2025 NFL season. It's expected Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. and wide receiver Drake London will play, while Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson has been ruled out with a toe injury.
