Packers win first game under Joe Philbin, stay in contention
The Joe Philbin era is off to a good start.
The Green Bay Packers were much improved in their 34-20 victory over the Atlanta Falcons at Lambeau Field, which barely keeps their playoffs alive mathematically, even if it’s highly unlikely.
It was far from a perfect game by the Packers, but it was a much improved performance on both sides of the ball.
Aaron Rodgers threw for 196 yards and two touchdowns, one to Davante Adams and one to Randall Cobb. Adams continued his excellent season with 81 yards to go with his score.
Despite dealing with a number of injuries along the offensive line, the offense was in more rhythm than we’ve seen for much of the season.
