(10-23-66) Atlanta Falcons @ Green Bay Packers - Bonus baby Donny Anderson scored
two touchdowns, one on a 77-yard punt return, as the Green Bay Packers mauled the defenseless Atlanta Falcons 56-3. Anderson's
first regular season score came on a five-yard sweep as the once beaten Packers remained alone atop the Western Conference
standings. Green Bay plucked the Falcons for 28 points in the first half alone as Bart Starr completed eight of 11 throws
for 217 yards. He stepped aside in favor of Zeke Bratkowski early in the second half. The Packers, unable to score more than
24 points in any previous game, held only a 7-0 lead after the first 15 minutes as Elijah Pitts smashed over from the three
to cap a 71-yard drive that began with a Bob Jeter interception of a Dennis Claridge pass. But they added three more touchdowns
in the second period with Jim Taylor plunging over from the one, Carroll Dale taking a 51 yard Starr bomb and Anderson's sweep.
Atlanta came back in the second half to score on a 41-yard field goal by Lou Kirouac, set up by the power running of Ernie
Wheelwright. But Herb Adderly added a fifth Packer touchdown with a 68-yard runback of a pass interception. Bratkowski, who
took over for Starr early in the third period, connected with Max McGee for a 24-yard touchdown early in the final period.
Anderson's punt return came late in the game as the Packers continued to pour it on despite liberal substituting by Coach
Vince Lombardi. Another substitute, Doug Hart, closed out the scoring when he intercepted a Randy Johnson pass and returned
it 40 yards for a touchdown. The victory margin remains the largest in Green Bay history. - NFL "GOTW" highlights from game - Milwaukee game - original, 26 minutes (Quality 9) - Upgraded June, 2009

the final 5 minutes of the game to take 14-13 win over Philadelphia. In the first quarter, the Eagles Cleveland Franklin recovered
a fumble on a punt return, setting up wide receiver Harold Carmichael's 13-yard touchdown reception. However, kicker Mike
Michel missed the ensuing extra point, which would later prove to be costly. Neither team would score again until the third
quarter when the Eagles would drive 60 yards to running back Wilbert Montgomery's 1-yard rushing touchdown. But late in the
fourth period, Falcons quarterback Steve Bartkowski completed 4 of 6 passes for 88 yards, as Atlanta came back to score on
tight end Jim Mitchell's 20-yard touchdown reception. Then on the Falcons next drive, Bartkowski threw a 37-yard touchdown
pass to Wallace Francis with 1:39 left in the game. The Eagles had one last shot to win the game as they reached the Atlanta
16-yard line with 13 seconds remaining, but Michel missed a 34-yard field goal attempt. - (quality 9)

a 35-31 victory. Atlanta's game-winning touchdown came from a break. Green Bay punter Paul McJulien bobbled a snap and was
forced to keep the ball, running out of bounds on his 41, well short of a first down. After being sacked on first down. Miller
completed a 10-yard pass to Mike Pritchard and a 21-yarder to Rison before hitting for the game winner. The future QB of the

intercepted a long Favre pass intended for Bill Schroeder at the 2-yard line to seal the win. Ambrose also intercepted Favre's
first pass of the day. Losing for just the 12th time in 75 home games, Favre threw three interceptions and fumbled twice,
losing one of them. He finished the afternoon completing 16 of 29 attempts for 262 yards and two touchdowns. Favre connected
on two long pass plays to Corey Bradford for 51 and 56 yards in the first half. Bradford finished the afternoon with his second
career 100-yard game recording three catches for 117 yards. Schroeder tallied four catches for 55 yards and one score while
Antonio Freeman hauled in two passes for 45 yards, including a 39-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. The Packers' biggest

(01-04-03) 2002 NFC Wildcard Playoffs - Atlanta @ Green Bay Packers - It looked so perfect for Green Bay. Snow falling. Packers in
green and gold. Lambeau Field in January. Only it wasn't Brett Favre making all the plays. It was Michael Vick. Undaunted
by the storied stadium where his own coach lost in the "Ice Bowl" 35 years ago, Vick made history of his own. The 22-year-old
improvisational genius led the Atlanta Falcons to a shocking 27-7 upset of the Packers in a wild-card playoff before a record
crowd of 65,358 stunned souls. The Packers were the only team to go unbeaten at home during the regular season. And they had
never lost a home playoff game since the NFL instituted a postseason in 1933 in going 13-0 -- 11 of the victories coming at
Lambeau and two more in Milwaukee. The closest they had come was on New Year's Eve 1967, when Bart Starr knifed into the end
zone with 13 seconds left to give Green Bay a 21-17 victory over Dallas in the coldest game in NFL history. Falcons coach
Dan Reeves threw a 50-yard touchdown pass on a halfback option that gave the Cowboys a 17-14 fourth-quarter lead in that game.
Favre had built a reputation as the game's greatest cold-weather quarterback, winning all 35 of his starts at home in which
the temperature was 34 or below. It was an unseasonably warm 31 degrees at kickoff. But by the time snow began falling at
halftime, the Falcons had an astonishing 24-0 lead. Favre was without Pro Bowl running back Ahman Green (knee) and leading
receivers Donald Driver (shoulder) and Terry Glenn (concussion) in a futile second-half comeback attempt. He finished 20-of-42
for 247 yards. Vick was 13-of-25 for 117 and rushed 10 times for 64 yards, numerous times turning sure sacks into big plays.

Samkon Gado put his medical career on hold. Making his first career start on his 23rd birthday, the Nigerian-born Gado scored
three touchdowns and the Packers won for only the second time this season, upsetting first-place Atlanta. Brett Favre threw
for 252 yards and came up with a great escape on a drive that led to Ryan Longwell's fourth field goal, a 51-yarder with 4:01
remaining that restored Green Bay's nine-point lead. Less than a minute later, rookie WR Roddy White finished off the Falcons
with their sixth fumble of the day. Nick Barnett scooped up the ball and returned it to the Atlanta 2, where Gado powered
into the end zone for his third TD. Gado, who was unemployed less than a month ago, was the fifth player to start at running
back in Green Bay's revolving door backfield - and certainly the most improbable - after season-ending injuries to Ahman Green
and Najeh Davenport.

(10-05-08) Atlanta Falcons @ Green Bay Packers - With every rock-solid read
and on-target spiral, Matt Ryan takes another step toward making everybody forget Michael Vick, Bobby Petrino and everything
else in the alcons' ugly recent past. The rookie quarterback turned in another sharp performance as the Falcons beat the Packers,
upstaging a gritty showing by Aaron Rodgers. It was the first road win of the season for the new and improved Falcons, putting
a team that is supposed to be rebuilding over the .500 mark. Falcons coach Mike Smith had a feeling during pregame warmups
that his young quarterback wasn't going to get rattled on the road this time around. Ryan completed 16 of 26 passes for 194
yards, two touchdowns and an interception. Falcons wide receiver Roddy White caught eight passes for 132 yards and a touchdown,
while Michael Turner ran for 121 yards and a touchdown. Ryan stole the stage from Rodgers, who played hurt and played hard
-- but not quite well enough to avoid the Packers' third straight loss. Rodgers started for the Packers despite a sprained
shoulder that kept him out of practice for most of the week. He got better as the game went on, even as the signs that his
shoulder was bothering him became more obvious. Rodgers hurt his shoulder at Tampa Bay last Sunday, and insisted during the
week that the quarterback-record consecutive starts streak held by his predecessor, Brett Favre, didn't place any additional
pressure on him to play. NOTES: Michael Turner rushed for 121 yards for his third 100-yard rushing game this season and sixth
of his career. His teams are 6-0 when he reaches the century mark in rushing...Atlanta snapped a five-game road losing streak
dating to last season and is one win away from tying last season's win total...The Packers lost for the first time (including
playoffs) when Ryan Grant had 18 rush attempts in a game. He finished with 83 yards on 18 carries...Rodgers was 25-for-37
