ATLANTA – Both teams moved the ball up and down the field to start Sunday’s game at the Georgia Dome, and the Falcons took a 10-7 lead into the second period with the Packers driving for another score.
The Falcons got on the board first. A 14-yard pass to WR Mohamed Sanu and a 10-yard scramble by QB Matt Ryan picked up two first downs. After back-to-back illegal formation penalties on Atlanta, TE Jacob Tamme gained 13 yards on third-and-14, and he injured his shoulder on the play (return questionable).
On fourth-and-1, the Falcons went for it and an outside pitch to RB Devonta Freeman fooled Green Bay’s defense for a 17-yard gain, but the Packers held there.
