The Packers took the 28-14 lead into halftime, then got the ball in the begin of the 2nd half, and did not punt once inside the procedure.

Williams? interception gave the Packers all of the momentum and had the Falcons just tried to kick the field target,Von Miller Jersey the 2nd half may have already been substantially different.

Unsung Hero

He had a phenomenal season, and but his Pro Bowl caliber play has only gotten better inside the post season. Tramon Williams continues to display the league why he deserved to be an all-star, this Sunday making it known with two from the greatest plays for the Packers this postseason.

Both of Williams? interceptions have been key in taking momentum away in the Falcons and shifting the game in favor in the Packers, and they occurred inside of minutes of one another.

The first time Williams intercepted Matt Ryan, the Falcons had been in the Packers 26-yard line, and also if they did not convert the third and 21,Aaron Rodgers Jersey they would have had an opportunity to kick the go-ahead field target. Williams? acrobatic pick gave the Packers the ball, and it killed the Falcons? drive.

His following interception he returned for any touchdown as time ran out inside the 2nd quarter, giving the Packers a 28-14 lead going in to the locker space, and they did not appear back.

Stat in the Game

The range that should scare the Bears probably the most when they seem in the box score from Packers vs. Falcons is Aaron Rodgers? 5 incompletions.

To say that Rodgers played effectively in Atlanta could be an understatement. In just his third playoff start,Duncan Keith Jerseys he gave a performance more remarkable than any of Brett Favre?s 24 postseason appearances. In fact, statistically, Rodgers played 1 with the most impressive video games in playoff history. vSeven various receivers hauled in 31 of his 36 passes, for any completion percentage of 86.one. Which is the fifth-highest completion percentage inside the playoffs, ever.

Rodgers completed all 10 of his pass attempts on third down, and his 366 yards are greater than Brett Favre ever threw for within a playoff game. He also didn?t play the final half from the fourth quarter, when the game was, for all intents and purposes,Charles Woodson Jersey over.

The most significant insight to take away from Rodgers phenomenal Sunday is the fact that he and his receivers had been in sync. The getting corps has had video games where their timing continues to be off with Rodgers, but Sunday they had been all around the identical page.

The Packers offense will bring an amazing sum of confidence into Soldier Field on Sunday, understanding that Rodgers and the receivers are gelling, and that Rodgers is ready to excel on the following huge stage.
