Today, Atlanta is playing their first home playoff game in six seasons. Their last home playoff game was during the Michael Vick era with the Falcons. The Green Bay Packers (10-6) and Atlanta Falcons (13-3) face off in Atlanta. These teams have played once this season with Atlanta winning the first meeting in Atlanta by 3 points (20-17). This is the game of young quarterbacks. Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan is in his third season and looking for his first playoff victory. Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been in the league six years, but only three as a starter, got his first playoff victory last week.
The Green Bay Packers Aaron Rodgers had the third highest quarterback rating (101.2) in the NFL this season and Greg Jennings had another great season with 1,265 reception yards and 12 touchdowns. Green Bay is going to need a strong passing game as their running back Brandon Jackson only averaged 43.9 yards per game. The Packer defense was one of the best in the league this year, only allowing 15 points per game on average.
The Atlanta Falcons are the 1st placed team in the NFC this season. The Falcons have a strong offense and defense allowing only 18 points per game on average. Atlanta receiver Roddy White was 2nd in the NFL with 1389 receiving yards and Michael Turner was 3rd in the NFL with 1371 rushing yards.
