Falcons dismantle Packers in NFC Championship Game rout

The Atlanta Falcons did what no other team could down the stretch of the NFL season: stop Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers.

Matt Ryan and Atlanta's passing attack rolled early and Rodgers was finally stumped by an attacking defense as the Falcons coasted to a 44-21 win in Sunday's NFC Championship Game.

The Falcons now advance to Super Bowl LI to face either the New England Patriots or Pittsburgh Steelers on Feb. 5 in Houston.

In its final game at the Georgia Dome, Atlanta sealed just the second Super Bowl berth in franchise history.
