FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) – The snow that forced the Atlanta Falcons to practice indoors all last week has nearly thawed. It will take a lot longer for the sting of their final game to melt away.
A dream regular season turned into a nightmare once the Falcons got to the playoffs, ruined by another dynamic performance from Aaron Rodgers and what might be the worst showing by Atlanta since the current regime took over in 2008.
The NFC’s top-seeded team was one and done, stunningly blown out by the Green Bay Packers 48-21. On Sunday, a city that had been giddy about its Super Bowl prospects awoke with one giant hangover.
Coach Mike Smith says “the sky has not fallen” and he doesn’t want to make any rash decisions in the immediate wake of such a poor performance.
