Atlanta Falcons 27, Green Bay Packers 24
The Packers’ defense killed any chance of them winning this football game as the upstart Falcons pushed them all over the football field. The Falcons rushed for 176 yards on 36 carries (4.9 ypc) and they also threw for 194 yards in this game and that was too much for the Packers to overcome. That’s a shame as a banged up Aaron Rodgers had another solid game throwing the football completing 25 of 37 passes for 313 yards with 3 TD passes and 1 interception. Ryan Grant had a solid game running the ball rushing for 83 yards on 18 carries (4.6 ypc). Greg Jennings, Donald Driver and Donald Lee each caught a TD pass from Rodgers in this game. The Packers fell to 2-3 on the season with this loss.
