A big completion to start the second quarter! Tom Brady has all sorts of time in the pocket and finds Julian Edelman for a big first down.

Then they lose the ball! Fumbled. Who has come out with it?

Atlanta!

Rio Ferdinand
Former England defender on BBC One

"I do not have a team - I like players. I like Brady now - I want the Patriots to win to elevate him even more into the stratosphere. You've got to respect greatness."

Former New York Giants team-mates Osi Umenyiora and Jason Bell, both of whom won the Super Bowl, give you their tips for starting your own 'game day'.  

This is the first time since week three, so Octoberish, that either of these sides have failed to score in the opening quarter. 

Watch Devonta Freeman's superb gain of 37-yards for Atlanta early on. 

Rio Ferdinand
Former England defender on BBC One

Former England and Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand is in the BBC One studio with Mark, Osi and Jason. He says: "I love this, I've been watching it for years. It's crazy."

LeGarrette Blount blasts up the middle to set up 2nd&3 for the Patriots, and that's the end of the first...

'Audibilising' - surely a made-up word there in comms. Nice to see. Hear.

Heading for a scoreless first quarter then, unless Tom Brady can get things ticking here.

Rio Ferdinand is in the BBC studio. He's done well to pick up some tickets. 

Atlanta using their running backs heavily so far as Tevin Coleman picks up more yards. They are yet to throw to Julio Jones. Their number one guy. 

Matt Ryan is then tripped and the Falcons will have to punt.

This is what you'd call 'a tactical battle.'

Not the best watch thus far...

At a 10-wings-per-person average, we're getting close to around 3 billion of them being eaten nationwide in the US.

Won't someone think of the poor chickens?!

The Falcons' ground game is doing the business in the early stages as Tevin Coleman makes nine yards. Matt Ryan then hooks a pass out wide to Patrick DiMarco for a first down, get those chains moving. 

So Matt Ryan, the league's MVP, is back on the field and with the ball. He's way deep in his own half. Can he get the Falcons on the board?

So no points on the board yet, neither offence able to put it together yet. 

That's how to play it Lucy...

James White can't hang on to a lofted Tom Brady pass tight to the sideline and Brady is then sacked again. The Falcons defence has started superbly.

The Patriots punt it away. 

New England up to halfway, the wheels clicking into gear, but they have a 3rd & 1. Can they convert? Easily as James White takes the catch. 

And then he's SACKED! Loses nine yards.

Great throw Tom Brady, the first of the night. He fires one over the middle and Danny Amendola grabs it in. Another big first down to Chris Hogan, the Pats on the march...
