Before the start of the season, when you looked at the game between the Green Bay Packers and the Atlanta Falcons on the schedule, you might have thought since it was in December, it would be a game with major playoff implications.
After all, the two teams just met for the NFC championship in 2016 and each has been a regular participant in the postseason the past few years. However, even with Aaron Rodgers and Matt Ryan at quarterback, the two teams have a combined eight wins at this point. Green Bay is 4-7-1 and just fired its head coach, while the Falcons are 4-8.
