The Georgia Dome has hosted a mobile quarterback before, and while Aaron Rodgers has nothing like the speed of Michael Vick, he’s making a fair number of plays on the run against the Falcons.
Packers Vs. Falcons: Aaron Rodgers Runs, Passes For TDs Against Atlanta
Rodgers has thrown twice for 13 yards and a touchdown, but that’s not the most impressive part of his running ability. Rodgers has largely avoided Atlanta’s pass rush when the Falcons seem close to shutting him down, and that ability to extend the play has consistently led to long completions that have kept drives alive.
That’s one reason why Rodgers is 27-of-31 for 330 yards and three touchdowns, his latest completion a seven-yard strike to John Kuhn to give the Packers a 28-point lead late in the game. Atlanta has not scored a touchdown since the second quarter, and seems like it will be out of the playoffs after its first game for the second straight trip to the postseason.
