The Falcons have too many options on offense for Green Bay’s defense to be able to keep up. A brief injury to Atlanta’s center, Alex Mack, was the only thing that slowed the team down on an 80-yard drive that ended when Matt Ryan, fresh out of receiving options, tucked the ball under his shoulder and ran in a 14-yard touchdown to give Atlanta a 17-0 lead.
