The Packers had gotten the better of the Dirty Birds in recent years, even in a Matt Flynn-led game. That all changed in 2017, Atlanta winning two offensive-dominated games against Green Bay en route to the Super Bowl.

Last season
Packers fans don’t need reminding of the Falcons’ 2016 season. An 11-5 record, including a victory over the Pack, powered them to the NFC’s second seed.
