Plays on Monday Night Football vs. Atlanta Falcons

There’s no team that’s been as good on offense this season as the Green Bay Packers have. They enter Week 4 with a perfect 3-0 record and have done so with a balanced attack. Throughout the first three games of the season, they’re sixth in passing yards with 288 per game and second in rushing with 171.7 per contest.

Their yardage isn’t empty either as they’re putting the points on the board when they get down the field. Green Bay is averaging 40.7 points per contest with their lowest scoring output coming in Week 3 when they beat the New Orleans Saints 37-30.

Now, they prepare to host the Atlanta Falcons in Week 4 who are struggling mightily to stop opponents from scoring. The Falcons are giving up a league-worst 36 points per game and they have had two huge meltdowns in the past two weeks. They blew a 15-point fourth-quarter lead against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 2 followed by a 16-point blown lead in the fourth against the Chicago Bears.

It would be surprising to see the Packers fall down by that much on Monday, but even if they did, they have the talent on offense to close the gap in a hurry. With all that being said, it would be surprising to see them walk out of Week 4 without remaining the top team in the NFC.
