It was a first half that was mostly defined by how easily the Atlanta Falcons were able to move the ball against an undermanned and overmatched Green Bay Packers defense. In five offensive possessions, the Falcons piled up 325 yards and scored four times, while Atlanta’s defense unexpectedly smothered the high-powered Packers attack. The score may be 24-0, but the disparity between the teams seemed far greater on a day in which nearly everything has gone wrong for Green Bay.
