The Atlanta Falcons will play the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday in a game from Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California in Week 9 of the NFL 2015 regular season. The game has a start time of 4.05 p.m. ET can be watched on TV on the Fox network or online through live stream via the link below.
The Falcons got off to a great start to the new season, and there was much excitement in Atlanta as they went undefeated for a number of weeks. However, that excitement has disappeared now as in recent weeks not only have they suffered losses, they have also found it difficult to keep the ball.
This week though they come up against a hapless 49ers team that is struggling in all areas of the game.
This could prove a perfect opportunity for the Falcons to go back to basics and get another win and get their season back on track.
The Falcons need to win today to stop themselves from losing further ground in the race for the title in the NFC South, but they come up against a San Francisco team desperate for a win themselves as they look to avoid their worst start at this point in the season for seven years.
Earlier this week on Thursday Night Football, the Cincinnati Bengals moved to 8-0 with ease as they demolished a hapless Cleveland Browns team 31-10.
The Browns had been able to keep in touch with the mighty Bengals until the half way stage of the game, and being just 14-10 down after the second period had given their fans hope of an upset.
But the second half saw the Bengals wake up and in particular the final quarter they piled on the pain for the Browns to hand them their seventh defeat of the season so far.
The Thursday Night Football game saw quarterback Andy Dalton throw three touchdown passes to Tyler Eifert as the Browns had no answer to their connection.
Moving to 8-0 sets a new franchise record for the Bengals; it is the first time they have ever been on 8-0 in their history, and is also their longest ever winning streak within a single season.
As well as Dalton and the Bengals offense piling on the pain for the Browns, the Cincinnati defense also played their part by completely shutting down Cleveland in the second half, allowing them just 32 yards and two first downs in total.
Dalton finished on 21 of 27 for 234 yards, and Eifert's three touchdowns move him to nine in total for the season so far, which also ties him for the franchise record for a tight end.
