It takes a lot of factors combining to blow a double-digit lead in the fourth quarter of an NFL game. The Green Bay Packers did just that on Sunday, falling 25-24 to the Atlanta Falcons in week 2 after holding a 24-12 lead through 45 minutes of game time.
As with other collapses in the team’s recent-ish history, there were a number of factors that contributed to the loss. It was a full team effort, with the offense failing to pick up a single first down in the fourth quarter to the defense getting run out of Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
