The Atlanta Falcons will head out on the road to face off against the New York Jets at 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday at MetLife Stadium. Coming in fresh off a victory as the underdog, the Falcons will stroll into this one as the favorite.
Atlanta finally caught a break after three consecutive losses. They came out on top against the Saints by a score of 24-15 on Sunday.
Bijan Robinson was the offensive standout of the game as he rushed for 91 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 32 receiving yards. Jessie Bates III got in on the action as well, converting a pick in the first quarter into a touchdown.
Meanwhile, it looks like New York got the smaller half of the wishbone at Thanksgiving dinner. They suffered a painful 34-13 defeat at the hands of the Dolphins on Friday. New York's defeat continues a disappointing trend for the team, making it four in a row.
The Jets have used their receiving core heavily this season, as 55.9% of their passes have been to wide receivers this season. The team tried something a little different on Friday though, as only 41.4% of the QB's passes went to receivers. Given they posted a dismal 2.9 yards per play the Jets probably won't be trying that again any time soon.
The Jets had trouble moving the ball and finished the game with only 159 total yards. They were demolished by their opponents in that department as the Dolphins gained 395.
The losses dropped both teams to an identical 5-6.
