Where is nfc championship 2017

It's the second Super Bowl trip for the Falcons in franchise history. Flu-stricken Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was under immense pressure for much of the contest and made several uncharacteristically errant throws, but he still managed to finish with passing yards, three touchdowns, one interception and 46 more yards with his legs.

Here is a link to the full highlights from the contest, courtesy of the NFL , with a few individual plays singled out below. Individual Highlights While Rodgers has done well to carry on the tradition of improvisational brilliance set by his predecessor, Brett Favre , it was Ryan who looked like the better schoolyard player of the two, especially on his shovel-pass flip to Sanu for the game's opening score, per the NFL:.

Matty Ice escapes the pocket. And flips it to Sanu for the TD! What a play! The Packers' early performance was one of missed opportunities. A rare missed field goal from Mason Crosby capped the first of many drives that ended in scoreless frustration, and the Packers' next possession ended when Falcons cornerback Jalen Collins ripped the football from fullback Aaron Ripkowski and recovered the fumble, per the NFL:.

The Falcons also made another nice defensive play in the first half when free safety Ricardo Allen intercepted this massive Rodgers heave intended for wideout Jordy Nelson :. Rodgers launches it deep. And the AtlantaFalcons come down with it. Going the other way! Top receiver Jordy Nelson hauled in a yard pass after missing the victory at Dallas with a rib injury. But, on third-and-four at the Atlanta 23, the Falcons hurried Rodgers into an incomplete pass.

Mason Crosby, who hit two field goals longer that 50 yards in the closing minutes against the Cowboys, pushed a yard attempt right of the upright to snap a playoff-record streak of 23 straight field goals. Fullback Aaron Ripkowski was breaking tackles and rumbling toward the end zone when Jalen Collins stripped the ball from behind and fell on it just across the goal line for a touchback. On the ensuing possession, Ryan hooked up with Jones three times for 56 yards.

A trip to Houston is on the line. The Packers have their full offensive arsenal available for the NFC title game. Four teams enter, two teams leave. And two other teams leave, too, after being declared the victors. As the Packers and Falcons finish their preparations for their game on Sunday, we do the same thanks to some help from our brethren covering Atlanta.

APC is far from unanimous, and nearly every prediction is a one-score game, but the majority of us think the Packers can pull off a trip to Super Bowl LI. The Packers have four of their six wideouts on the injury report this week, and two of them were unable to practice entirely on Wednesday.
