There wasn’t much more Aaron Rodgers could’ve done in the Green Bay Packers 48-21 win over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday night. With his offensive line giving him all day in the pocket, Rodgers picked apart the Falcons’ secondary, completing 31 passes to seven different receivers.
Packers Vs. Falcons Score And Stats: Aaron Rodgers Impresses In 48-21 Win
When all was said and done, Rodgers threw for 366 yards and three touchdowns while also adding another score on the ground. He never turned the ball over and only missed on five passes while calmly guiding the Packers down the field time and again. With Rodgers at the helm, the Green Bay offense looked unstoppable.
The Packers’ defense also deserves recognition for the job they did on Matt Ryan and the Falcons Saturday night. Tramon Williams did a number on Ryan, intercepting him twice in the second quarter including a game-changing pick-six as time expired in the half.
The Falcons were held in check all night, only gaining 194 yards of total offense while turning the ball over four times. Michael Turner never got going on the ground after his bruising 12-yard touchdown in the first quarter, finishing with just 39 yards on 10 carries.
The defense’s ability to lock down the Falcons, coupled with Rodgers outstanding performance on the other side of the ball, turned what looked like a close game early into a blowout as Green Bay rolled to a 48-21 win.
