Green Bay is coming off an impressive 26-21 win over the Patriots last Sunday and quarterback Aaron Rodgers knows how critical winning in the final stretch of the season is.

“We have some big goals, and we’re getting into December football now with a chance with everything right in front of us,” Rodgers said.

Rodgers has completed 66.3 percent of his passes and has thrown 32 touchdowns this year..

“No disrespect to any quarterback in the NFL, but right now he’s at a level that much higher than anybody else,” Falcons head coach Mike Smith said this week.  “I don’t know that there’s been a quarterback that’s had a stretch like he’s had in the history of the NFL.” 

The Falcons have won their last three out of four games, but are 2-4 on the road this year.
