Atlanta Falcons vs. Green Bay Packers: Quinn’s defense has big advantage

Sunday’s Green Bay Packers vs. Atlanta Falcons NFC Championship is expected to be an offensive shootout. If defense is a factor, it will be simply, what defense can make that one stop late in the game? In this type of game, we can count on Dan Quinn’s defense to overcome.

If you were an NFL defensive coordinator, which team offers you the more favorable match-up:

Team A:

  • Points Scored (2)
  • First downs (1)
  • Passing yards (1)
  • Drives ending with points (2)

Team B:

  • Points scored (4)
  • First downs (7)
  • Passing yards (7)
  • Drives ending with points (4)

Both are pretty solid offenses but Team A is clearly better than Team B.
