The Super Bowl champions; The Patriots host the Atlanta Falcons in  Sunday Night Football prime time game. It was expected to be a tight game with many points by two teams.

Both teams lost their previews games, Kansas City Chiefs against the Steelers in arrowhead and the Okland Raiders lost it against the Chargers  The AFC standings may change with the result of this prime time game. The Raiders will be looking forward to getting out from the bottom of the division, where the Chargers were before week 6. In their other hand the Chiefs will try to recover from Sunday loss at home and demonstrate they are in the top 1 of standings in the NFL.
