With the Packers trailing the Falcons 17-7 and a minute left in the second quarter last night, Aaron Rodgers hit Randall Cobb for a 35-yard gain that appeared to have Green Bay rolling toward a score before halftime. Unfortunately, Packers tight end Martellus Bennett was flagged for offensive pass interference for a pick play. That wiped out a huge gain, and in the sequence of events that followed it was the Falcons who scored before halftime.
After the game, the Packers’ website reported that Rodgers and Packers coach Mike McCarthy were incredulous about the call.
