NFC Championship - Atlanta Falcons @ GREEN BAY PACKERS
GREEN BAY - With the snow falling at Lambeau Field, the Green Bay Packers punched a ticket to Super Bowl LV with their 40-26 win over the Atlanta Falcons. The Packers (13-4-1) head back to the Super Bowl for the first time since their Super Bowl 50 loss to the 3GML Miami Dolphins. However, for GM SD it's his second consecutive trip as GM after the Buffalo Bills won it all last year.
The game itself was a wild one early with Adrian Amos returning a Matt Ryan interception for a touchdown to kick off the scoring. Atlanta (12-7) answered with a field goal before Tavon Austin returned the ensuing kickoff back for a 91 yard touchdown giving Green Bay a 14-3 lead. "Oh man, we' haven't had one of those all year." Austin said, "I honestly can't believe that just happened."
After the teams exchanged field goals, the Falcons got a pick six of their own when Foyesade Oluokun intercepted an errant Aaron Rodgers pass. That's when things settled down and the Packers offense got to work. From there they scored on each of their remaining drives and Atlanta couldn't keep up. Key to the surge was once again Damien Williams. The all league running back moved the chains when his team needed a first down and finished with 30 carries for 170 yards earning him the NFC Championship player of the game award. "Honored to help this team win. We going to the Super Bowl Baby!" Williams said.
Green Bay will advance to take on Deshaun Watson and the New England Patriots who are trying to make it six years in a row an AFC East team is the last one standing.
