Too soon?

The NFL Network announced Monday the “NFL Replay Game of the Week” will be Sunday’s matchup between the Atlanta Falcons and New England Patriots.

At the Patriots’ Gillette Stadium, the Falcons fell far short of avenging their Super Bowl LI loss when they fell to the Patriots, 23-7.

Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan was 23 of 33 for 233 yards and one touchdown. Wide receiver Julio Jones scored the team’s only points in the fourth quarter by catching a one-yard pass from Ryan.

Jones had 11 receptions for 99 yards and one touchdown.

The game, condensed into one hour, will air on Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET on the NFL Network.
