Looking slightly deeper, it’s clear that this will be another worthy adversary for the Patriots’ seventh Belichick-Brady Super Bowl.

– Donald Trump was not even a reality TV star. After the Falcons beat the Packers in the NFC championship game, and before they knew their Super Bowl opponent, All-Pro wide receiver Julio Jones said they would win it all if they maintained their level of play.
For the Falcons, Matt Ryan has had an outstanding performance as well, passing for 38 touchdowns and almost 5,000 yards in Atlanta’s high-octane offense.
The Patriots have a duo of great running backs themselves.
Butler was the fifth cornerback on the team’s roster – active some games, a healthy scratch in others. “I know that he’s incredibly dedicated off the field, in terms of taking care of himself both mentally and physically and training all year round”. The Falcons have surrendered over 27.5 points per game during that slide, most recently dropping a 30-23 decision to New England as 2.5-point favourites during the 2013 season despite a 421-yard, two touchdown performance by Ryan.
Getting one more than his childhood hero, Joe Montana, is reason enough for Brady.
“NFL rules prohibit us from using the Georgia Dome for broadcasting the game”, the statement said in part.
Speaking of Montana and the Niners.
This is not up for debate.
Quinn said he doesn’t worry about the experience gap because “it’s not like we’re going to make it up in two weeks”.
The total has gone OVER in the Falcons’ last eight games. The state-of-the-art building, which has a retractable roof, is already scheduled to host Super Bowl 53 in 2019. In two meetings, the Patriots defense has shut them down. Because, again, the team has been working on it, at some point they’re probably going to use it and the fewer games there are to call it.
Not to mention New England is a ideal fit for a bandwagon jumper like myself. Those numbers amount to a 132.6 QB rating, which is the third-highest in National Football League postseason history (minimum 50 attempts). Especially when he’s coached by the best football coach who ever lived.
Belichick was asked about the impact of Falcons’ general manager Thomas Dimitroff, who was the Patriots’ director of college scouting from 2003-2007 before moving on to Atlanta.

Atlanta, led by NFL MVP candidate Matt Ryan and a historically dominant offense, has gone 13-5 SU and 12-6 on the season while reaching the Super Bowl for the second time in the franchise’s history.
