They were two plays, both in the second quarter, that might have helped the Packers thwart the Atlanta onslaught in the NFC title game back in January.
First, fullback Aaron Ripkowski took a first-down handoff from the Falcons’ 23-yard line, burst through the middle for what would have set up first-and-goal, but had the ball ripped out by Atlanta cornerback Jalen Collins.
The turnover prevented the Packers from cutting into the Falcons’ 10-0 lead at the time.
Then, with the score 17-0, linebacker Jake Ryan had a chance to recover a botched direct snap to motioning receiver Taylor Gabriel.
