Atlanta Falcons vs Green Bay Packers: 5 Keys For a Berth in The NFC Championship
The Atlanta Falcons and Green Bay Packers will play for an NFC Championship Game berth Saturday night in the Georgia Dome.
The game will kickoff at 8:00 Saturday night in the Georgia Dome and will be televised on FOX. Joe Buck and Troy Aikman will be the commentators for the game.
This is a rematch of their Thanksgiving weekend battle which the Falcons won 20-17. And if the second game is anything like the first one, we are in for a real treat.
But before I get to the keys of this upcoming game it is important to note what happened in their first meeting.
The Green Bay Packers trailed 17-10 going into the final minutes of the fourth quarter. They would get down into the redzone and Aaron Rodgers connected on a ten-yard pass to tie the game up at 17 with 56 seconds left on the clock.
But that was 56 seconds too much for Matt Ryan and this Atlanta Falcons offense.
