All the highlights from the Green Bay Packers’ Week 4 victory over the Atlanta Falcons, including their fourth-straight 30-point game.

The Green Bay Packers continued their winning ways against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 4 despite missing a number of key players including Davante Adams, Allen Lazard, Kenny Clark and Christian Kirksey. Regardless, check out all the highlights from yet another high-scoring affair.

The Packers kicked off to begin the game and sent their shorthanded defense on the field first. After a first down run that gained four yards, they held and forced a quick three-and-out, giving the ball to their offense for their first possession.

Green Bay’s shorthanded offense went right to work, doing exactly what they’ve done all season long. They drove the length of the field thanks to a big catch by Robert Tonyan and a number of nifty runs from Aaron Jones. Jones capped the drive with a touchdown reception and the Packers took a 7-0 lead.

Following two deep shots from Matt Ryan to Calvin Ridley and a three-yard run by Todd Gurley, the Falcons went three-and-out on their second straight drive.

Green Bay drove right down the field thanks to a big passing play from Rodgers to Jamaal Williams. However, their red zone struggles continued, as they were stuffed inside the two-yard-line on fourth and goal. Turnover on downs.

Atlanta followed with an impressive drive that lasted 20 plays, too nearly 11 minutes off the clock and ended with three points thanks to a chip shot field goal. Packers 7 Falcons 3

For the third straight time, the Packers moved the ball down the field and put the ball in the end zone. This time it was much more methodical and Rodgers found Robert Tonyan from 19 yards out to give the good guys their second touchdown of the night. Packers 13 Falcons 3

Enjoy Rodgers’ celebration at the end.

The Packers forced yet another three-and-out on the Falcons’ ensuing possession and got the ball back at midfield with 1:37 remaining in the second quarter. And you know the rest. Rodgers led a masterful two-minute drill thanks to two ill-advised timeouts by the Falcons and found Tonyan for an eight-yard touchdown pass once again. Packers 20 Falcons 3

After the Packers punted on their first possession of the second half, the Falcons capitalized on the opportunity, as Gurley found the endzone for their first touchdown of the game. It’s safe to say tackling was an issue on that drive. Packers 20 Falcons 9
