5 reasons the Atlanta Falcons deserve your attention

“The offense is starting to click a little bit more; we’ve just got to put together a game where we’re more consistent from the first snap to the last”.

The same could be said of Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers, who shook off a slow start to finish with a 104.2 passer rating.

The Falcons will move into the $1.5 billion Mercedes-Benz Stadium next season. The Packers won four straight until the Falcons defeated them on October 30.

The Falcons led the National Football League in scoring. Nelson missed last week’s victory over Dallas due to sore ribs but the Packers remain capable of pulling out the victory because they still have quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The only problem was they play four quarters.

Those additions have brought great variety to Atlanta’s offense, and helped Ryan grow as a quarterback. “Whatever it takes, we just have to put up as many points as we need to”. The OVER is 7-0 in Atlanta’s last seven games and 6-0 in Green Bay’s last six.

Shanahan is a leading candidate in the San Francisco 49ers’ coaching search. The mighty New England Patriots knocked off by the Atlanta Falcons, of all teams?

Indeed, Ryan’s touchdowns have been spread out among 13 receivers, an National Football League record. However, that was way back in Week 8, and at that time Green Bay was without Clay Matthews, Ty Montgomery and Randall Cobb – three very key components that have all been contributing a lot in the postseason for the Pack. Lang said the guys in the locker room won’t shy away from Super Bowl talk either. Given Ryan’s age at the time (30) and the money being paid to him, he was not alone in suggesting the Falcons needed to take a good long look at their future and see how Ryan fits into it. Everything lives off that. Apparently they fared better than Las Vegas.

“It’s as much fun as you can possibly imagine when you get to do it in front of your own fans”, Quinn said.

Atlanta’s Matt Ryan is the favorite to capture MVP honors as he was the driving force behind a team that finished with the NFC’s second-best record and an offense that scored a whopping 72 more points than any other team in the NFL.

For what it’s worth, Capers’ defense did just enough last week at Dallas in the Packers’ 34-31 win in the divisional round of the playoffs.

The 12-6 Green Bay Packers have begun preparations for the 12-5 Atlanta Falcons.

“You know what I’m always happy about?” Ryan had an unbelievable year, throwing for almost 5,000 yards, 38 touchdowns against just 7 interceptions. Matt Ryan (Falcons) should be named the NFL MVP this season. “In order to do that, I thought we needed to keep our composure and that was it”. Last quarterback with the ball wins a 38-35 affair. He was inactive in Weeks 14 and 15 with a similar injury.

Jones, though, has already proven he can play with his issue and perform at a high level. “This is a different type of receiver”, Sanders said. Rodgers and co will be able to score against the Falcons, but don’t look for Green Bay to be able to open up another 21-3 lead. He threw for a team-record 503 yards and four touchdowns early this season against the Carolina Panthers.
