The Chiefs and Packers won again and there's a lot to go over. Defensively, the Pack were solid enough, too, getting some pressure on Matt Ryan but, more importantly, holding up in a defensive backfield without Chandon Sullivan and Darnell Savage for various stretches. The trio of Aaron Jones, Jamaal Williams and Robert Tonyan stepped up big time to offset the absence of Adams, meanwhile, utilizing ridiculously open space to keep Green Bay comfortably in front all night. Side note: What do you think Jordan Love is worth on the trade market? Kidding, but Rodgers is on fire, and that continued Monday. He was so good, capitalizing on virtually every opportunity afforded him by the Falcons "D," that it was easy to forget Green Bay didn't have either Davante Adams or Allen Lazard on the field. 12 made yet another strong case to be an MVP front-runner with one wide-open strike after another.
Picking apart a decimated Atlanta secondary, No. Here are some immediate takeaways from the Packers' big win in prime time: Why the Packers wonĪs has often been the case early in 2020, Aaron Rodgers absolutely had his way. Decimated by injuries as well as their own defensive ineptitude, the Falcons didn't finish Monday's showdown with star wideout Julio Jones, who left early after aggravating a hamstring issue, but they did finish it with a fourth straight loss - this one courtesy of Rodgers, who was nearly flawless in another MVP-caliber performance alongside a breakout game for tight end Robert Tonyan en route to a 30-16 rout.
The Atlanta Falcons experienced heartbreak in back-to-back games leading up to Monday night's Week 4 showdown with the Green Bay Packers, but they may have experienced something even worse while falling victim to Aaron Rodgers in prime time: Confirmation that they are among the worst teams in the NFL through the first quarter of the 2020 campaign.
