When Will Green Bay Play Atlanta Again

Green BAY, Wis. – The Light-green Bay Packers will play the Atlanta Falcons at 8 p.m. Monday, 35 minutes later on than originally scheduled and another 10 minutes later than the rescheduled time.

"I definitely think it is" doable, he said. "When you play in a great law-breaking, the opportunities will come. So, I know those opportunities will come up and you lot accept to cash in on it when it does come up. I left some out in that location early in the first 3 and so I've got to brand up for those."

Prediction

In the 2016 regular-season game at Atlanta, then-coach Mike McCarthy'due south inactives list was boundless. Receiver Randall Cobb, tight end Jared Cook, running backs Ty Montgomery and James Starks, outside linebacker Clay Matthews and cornerbacks Damarious Randall and Quinten Rollins were out. That left Dark-green Bay with Jordy Nelson, Jeff Janis and Trevor Davis at receiver, and the defense without three key factors to stop the pass. Greenish Bay hung in in that location simply didn't take the horses to go a cardinal stop, or to answer, and lost 33-32.

Tonight's game has the same sort of flavor. Without receivers Davante Adams and Allen Lazard, who will brand plays for Aaron Rodgers? According to NFL Network, defensive tackle Kenny Clark and exterior linebacker Rashan Gary are unlikely to play, as well.

Yes, the Falcons are 0-3 and they'll be downwardly at least four starters on defense force. But peachy players win games, and information technology's a mismatch at receiver with Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley vs. Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Darrius Shepherd. Final score: Falcons 37, Packers 24. (Record: 3-0).
