An unmitigated beatdown in Atlanta has delivered the Packers to a familiar fate: they’ve been eliminated from the poastseason via a crushing defeat in the NFC Championship game.
Points were expected, but it’s safe to say that the general consensus was that scores would be coming from both teams. The Packers could not keep up with the Falcons, who were virtually unstoppable thanks to presumptive-MVP Matt Ryan and his main counterpart, Julio Jones.
Atlanta started the game with several key third down conversions. With several short passes, Atlanta made a methodical march down the field.
