The Atlanta Falcons have struggled on offense in 2025, but Raheem Morris doubled-down on his confidence in the staff and his players.

Kirk Cousins took an immediate deep shot to Darnell Mooney, but Rasul Douglas was called for pass interference and the Falcons were over midfield. A quick swing pass to Bijan then picked up 15 yards, but then Bijan fumbled it away on the next carry.

Tua Tagovailoa threw a season-high four touchdown passes and the Miami Dolphins ended their three-game losing streak by dominating the short-handed Atlanta Falcons 34-10.

The Atlanta Falcons were the big losers of the week on the field, and it showed in ESPN's Week 9 NFL Power Rankings.

Turnover differential: Falcons plus-2; Patriots plus-2. The Falcons offense runs through Bijan Robinson, the dual-threat running back with 962 all-purpose yards and four total touchdowns through seven games.

Next up, the Atlanta Falcons come to town to try and redeem an embarrassing, shut-out loss to the Patriots in 2021, and of course, the ghosts are still haunting them from the epic Super Bowl 28-3 comeback in 2017.

The NFL's trade deadline is rapidly approaching. From Kirk Cousins to Kyle Pitts, who could the Atlanta Falcons opt to move if they choose to be sellers?

Atlanta has some question marks of its own, as QB Michael Penix Jr. and WR Drake London’s statuses for Week 9 remain uncertain. Even if both can suit up, New England still has plenty of momentum to pull out a victory of six or more points.

Following an embarrassing 34-10 loss at home to the Dolphins, the Atlanta Falcons (3-4) travel to Foxborough in Week 9 of the regular season to face the AFC's hottest team, the New England Patriots (6-2).
