Falcons get chance to avenge humbling playoff loss

Published: Oct 05, 2011 at 09:36 AM

Why to watch
This is a rematch from the NFC divisional playoffs, when the Falcons could not stop Aaron Rodgers and Matt Ryan threw a crushing interception -- both quarterbacks have been on a similar path since. The collection of pass-catching talent on this field is fairly overwhelming, with Julio Jones already playing like a stud.

Inside story
It's hard not to like the Packers' team speed on the fast track of the dome. Only the Bills have fewer sacks than the Falcons this season. If the Falcons can't get to Rodgers, forget about it, dude might score six more TDs.
