Atlanta Falcons: Top 5 Playoff Games of All Time
#2: 2016 NFC Championship
This was a heavyweight matchup. Aaron Rodgers vs. Matt Ryan, two top MVP candidates. All signs pointed to an offensive shootout, but that’s not how it would play out.
The Falcons defense stepped up in a huge way, forcing turnovers and shutting out the Green Bay offense for the entire first half.
Matt Ryan and company performed business as usual. Julio Jones was especially impressive, notching 180 yards and two touchdowns.
Aaron Rodgers’ “run the table” magic was over, and the Falcons were headed to the Super Bowl.
