(PHOTO: Dale Zanine-USA TODAY Sports) The New England Patriots traveled to Atlanta to take on the Falcons on Thursday looking to extend their winning streak to five and remain perfect on the road in 2021.
Relieve all the best moments by checking out the social media postings shared before, during, and after the game by both the team and media below.
Tonight the Falcons play the Patriots. Also tonight there is a partial lunar eclipse that will last 3 hours and 28 minutes. You can’t even make this stuff up anymore.
The next time Earth will see a partial lunar eclipse as lengthy as tonight’s will be in 648 years. pic.twitter.com/Ji87vPlWDj

In the first quarter, the Patriots jumped out to a 3-0 lead thanks to the running back tandem of Damien Harris and Rhamondre Stevenson.

Looking for some separation on the scoreboard, the Patriots offense finally found the end zone when Mac Jones threw a 19-yard touchdown reception to Nelson Agholor.
Hello and good bye, NELLY TD!

While the first half overall was a bit of a struggle for the Mac and the offense, the Patriots defense overpowered the Falcons offensive line and quarterback Matt Ryan.
A Nick Folk field goal just before halftime gave the Patriots a 13-0 heading into the locker room.
Not on @KVN_03's watch.

Judon – Def player of the year ??
— Rodney Harrison (@Rodney_Harrison) November 19, 2021
Matthew Judon is the first Patriots player to record double-digit sacks since Chandler Jones in 2015.
— Mark Daniels (@ByMarkDaniels) November 19, 2021
The Patriots lead the Falcons 13-0 at halftime on #ThursdayNightFootball. The last time they lost when leading by double digits at halftime was Week 1, 2014 vs the Dolphins.
43 straight wins when leading by double digits at halftime is the longest active streak in the NFL.

In the second half, it remained more of the same for the Falcons as the Patriots defense prevented any ball movement (including the stop below), but neither team could find points in the third quarter.
The #Patriots defense stuffs em on 3rd and 4th down to preserve the shutout! #ForeverNE pic.twitter.com/JchMartMBz

At the start of the fourth, the Falcons appeared to be in a position to make it a game after crossing midfield, but once again the Patriots defense had other ideas.

Dugger beating up Pitts at the LOS. Throw off the timing. Hightower with the left hand up to disrupt the throw of the right handed QB, McCourty gets the gift. Textbook.
— Tedy Bruschi (@TedyBruschi) November 19, 2021
The McCourty interception set up a Nick Folk 53 yard field goal to extend the Patriots lead to 16.
Man Nick Folk… is really good!!!

Still leading by 16 with five minutes to go in the game, cornerback J.C. “Mr. Int” Jackson joined in on the turnover party.
Alexa, why do they call him @MR_INT?

A Nick Folk 33 yard field goal pushed the Patriots lead to 19.
Mac Jones
Is the 1st rookie QB, in NFL history, with ≥ 80.0% completion percentage in 2 straight games – (min 20 pass attempts)
incredible
— Boston Sports Info (@bostonsportsinf) November 19, 2021
With the clock winding down, linebacker Kyle Van Noy put a stamp on the Patriots seventh win with a 35-yard interception return for a touchdown.

— J Jones (@justjjones) November 19, 2021
The defense would preserve the Patriots 25-0 shutout victory, the 13th such a win under head coach Bill Belichick.
Following the Buffalo Bills loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, the Patriots found themselves in first place in the AFC East for the first time since the 2019 season.
The Patriots have outscored opponents 175-50 during their five-game win streak.

So, after all the 28-3 jokes, with a 3 hour, 28 minute long partial lunar eclipse on the way, #Patriots won in Atlanta by 25. Sports are the best.

The Patriots defense during the 5 game winning streak:
– giving up an average of 10 points per game
– 103 total QB pressures (per @PFF)
– 12 Interceptions
– 3 defensive touchdowns

— Davon Godchaux (@ChauxDown) November 19, 2021
Meanwhile, they've now scored at least 25 points in six games.
That's tied for the second-most such games in the NFL this year.
No. 1 pick Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars have yet to eclipse 25 points in a game this season (their max is 23 vs. Miami)

After going 22-for-26 (84.6%) last night, Mac Jones became the first rookie in NFL history to complete at least 80% of his passes in back-to-back games (min. 15 attempts), per @EliasSports.
He currently ranks 3rd in the NFL for the season at 70.2%.
