The Falcons are not without some degree of fight at this point, putting together a 73-yard touchdown drive with what might be too little time left to make a difference. Matt Ryan is 7-of-7 for 83 yards — there was a ten-yard penalty in there — to cut the deficit to three touchdowns. The touchdown is a six-yard pass to Roddy White.
Packers Vs. Falcons: Atlanta Tries To Keep Hope Alive With Roddy White TD Catch
But there’s very little reason at this point to think that Atlanta can pull off what would be an amazing comeback even if the defense had shown much of an ability to stop Green Bay.
Following the touchdown, Atlanta goes for the onside kick. It’s recovered by an airborne Brian Finneran about half a yard shy of the 40-yard line, which means the ball goes to Green Bay on the penalty.
Then there are a few more glimmers of hope for Atlanta. The defense holds Green Bay to seven yards, and the Mason Crosby field goal clanks off the left upright. There’s not really much of a chance for Atlanta to endanger the Packers’ lead at this point, but those are the only things left for Falcons fans to hold to while the clock runs down.
