Patriots Edge Out Vick-Less Falcons 31-28

[BAMAPHIN 22]

The Atlanta Falcons kept coming back, even without Michael Vick, but Tom Brady and the New England Patriots simply don't lose two in a row. Brady threw for 350 yards and three touchdowns before Adam Vinatieri kicked a 29-yard field goal with 17 seconds left to lead injury plagued New England past the Falcons 31-28 on Sunday. Matt Schaub filled in admirably for the injured Vick, matching Brady with three TD passes while rallying the Falcons from deficits of 14-0 and 28-13 against the defending Super Bowl champions.

Atlanta (3-2) tied the game at 28 when Schaub threw a 14-yard scoring pass to Dez White with 3:52 remaining, then went to Brian Finneran for a 2-point conversion.

if vick plays,pats win by 10-14 points easily,and have 2-3 picks. pats would have been geared to stop the run and force vick to beat them with his unaccurate arm. this qb today for the falcons made throws that vick can only dream of.
