Being down 31-7 at halftime is one of the most deflating feelings in football. There is a clear mismatch on the field, as one team dominates on both sides of the ball. It wasn’t surprising to see a 10-3 Packers team led by a prime Aaron Rodgers pick apart a 5-8 Falcons team that was severely flawed.
As mentioned in the most recent piece of the Julio Jones’ summer series, Atlanta hadn’t beaten a team outside a historically abysmal NFC South until upsetting Arizona in Week 13. It proved to be their only victory outside of the division all season.
