The Packers finished 21st in points allowed.

The 6-foot-5, 254-pound Cook then caught six passes for 53 yards in the first two games before sustaining the ankle injury and sitting out the next six. Atlanta intercepted Russell Wilson twice last week and recorded three sacks. This year, 10 Packers have receiving touchdowns, and five Packers have rushing touchdowns. But I see the Falcons holding on, and the fans beginning an early demolition celebration at the Georgia Dome. For us, you know the importance of having a balanced attack.
“It started way back in February in terms of his intent for the offseason, the way he was going to set it off”. Rodgers has been the catalyst behind the Packers surge. Either Nelson is Superman or he will quickly learn in the first quarter that he can’t go the distance. But he has been unstoppable as of late.
At the AFC Divisional Playoff Game played at Gillette Stadium on January 14, in Foxboro, Massachusetts. Chandler threw for 219 yards but had three interceptions along with just one touchdown. I was happy for him and he’s a good guy but hopefully our defence can keep him on the bench and the only person doing any kicking is me. He’s in a great rhythm right now. I probably could have caught it, but it came out really fast.
So this is he baggage both teams, and both quarterbacks, will drag into Georgia Dome today.
The next drive for the Packers featured typical Rodgers dominance as well as the Packers moved straight down the field, but a fumble forced by cornerback Jalen Collins deep in Falcons territory undid the Packers this time. Atlanta wasn’t much better at 26th.
Both rank near the bottom of the league in most of the major categories, but their dynamic offenses helped cover up the shortcomings.
Ryan might have the better supporting cast, though.
Rodgers has been battling the flu, as has receiver Jordy Nelson – who was already questionable with a rib injury, but the Falcons are still tired of his ability to extend plays outside the pocket.
Cook, who has 303 catches for 3,880 yards and 17 touchdowns in eight pro seasons, is one of four SC or Clemson alums playing this weekend in National Football League conference championship games. He has 36 receptions for 443 yards and four touchdowns through halftime on Sunday in his playoff career.
The Atlanta Falcons have a great duo at the running back position in Tevin Coleman and Devonta Freeman.
“One of the hardest things to simulate, you can imagine, is when a person gets outside the pocket to get down the field, and the term defensively that we use is called ‘plaster, ‘” Falcons coach Dan Quinn said this week. “I think the combination of those things has led to us playing well”.
On the other side, Packers coach Mike McCarthy says he may not know the status of Jordy Nelson, Davante Adams and Geronimo Allison until just before kickoff. “For her and other people to support me is pretty awesome”.

The seven Super Bowl rings are the most for any conference championship foursome. “We are seeing more on the Pats money line, but again it’s very balanced right now”. “It’s obviously on our minds”.
