When the Packers opened with a missed field goal attempt and a fumble, Sunday's NFC Championship Game essentially was over after 19 minutes.
By the time Aaron Rodgers got his third swing in, the host Falcons led 17-0 en route to 31 unanswered points and a 44-21 blowout.
"We ran into a buzz saw," Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. "We couldn't overcome the pace that these guys were playing."
So now Super Bowl LI will feature "The Buzz Saw" vs. "The Brain" — Patriots coach Bill Belichick.
Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady, who disposed of Pittsburgh 36-17 in the AFC title game, will be making their seventh Super Bowl appearance together.
