The New England Patriots will face off against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday Night Football in the NFL's big week 4 game. The teams have gotten off to very different starts to the season, but form may mean nothing when these two giants of the NFL come head to head in a game that will feature two of the league's best quarterbacks in Tom Brady and Matt Ryan.

The game will start at 8.30 p.m. ET and can be watched on TV on the NBC network or online through Direct TV's NFL Sunday Ticket with a subscription via the link provided below.

These are two teams that were just a game away from meeting one another in the Super Bowl last season, and both came into this season with Super Bowl hopes, however, for the Falcons they are already suffering a lack of confidence after two losses through the first three weeks.

The Patriots have not had it all their own way however, and even though they have won three from three, their offense has been misfiring somewhat and they are ranked just 22nd in the NFL in offense for scoring.

Things could have been much different for the Falcons and each of their games have been decided by a touchdown or less. They have led in the third quarter in all three of their games this season, but have given up their lead in two of the three games late on. They will be kicking themselves for not being able to see out games, and will want to gain a big win today to help them turn the corner.
