No matter who Atlanta Falcons coach Arthur Smith turned to on Thursday, his quarterbacks kept throwing to the New England Patriots.
Matt Ryan had a brutal night and was mercifully allowed to watch the finish after throwing a pair of picks in the fourth quarter of the 25-0 loss.

Josh Rosen replaced the veteran from Boston College and was inept, finding Kyle Van Noy, who turned the interception into a pick-six.
Kyle Van Noy seals it. #ForeverNE @KVN_03

Feleipe Franks came into the game and threw his first NFL pass to New England’s Adrian Phillips. The other rookie from Florida — Kyle Pitts would be the primary Gators’ rookie on the Falcons — won’t want to remember his first pro pass or this game. Neither will his other quarterbacks.
Remarkably, all four interceptions came in the fourth quarter.
