The Atlanta Falcons host the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. What must the Falcons do to beat the Packers?

Standing at 4-3, the Atlanta Falcons face a critical point in their season. Back-to-back losses to the Seattle Seahawks and San Diego Chargers has cooled off the hot start to the season for the Falcons and whether you want to swallow the pill, the Falcons are in must-win mode with quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers coming to town.

As long as the presence of Rodgers, receivers Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb, plus outside linebacker Clay Matthews are around for the Packers, this is a contest that should not be overlooked or taken lightly. With that said, there are of course a few items that I will highlight that the Falcons must take care of in order to beat the Packers and improve to 5-3 on the season. Let’s take a look.
