Eyes Front: Can Packers Dodge the Bird Droppings?

Falcons powerhouse players will test Green Bay.

Playing in the Falcons’ nest has not been a pleasant experience for the Packers in recent years. Since 2016, the Packers have played the Falcons five times, losing all three in Atlanta. And the memory of Michael Vick shredding Green Bay’s invincibility at Lambeau lingers forever.

The Falcons are an oddity, with a creative yet confounding coach. Arthur Smith’s offense boasts some of the most dynamic athletes on the planet, yet he makes use of them in strangely sporadic ways. He is a run-first, run-mostly coach, so much so that highly drafted receivers Kyle Pitts and Drake London see the football far less than their talent would dictate.
