At times the Falcons defense has been humbled this season.  Whether it was giving up big games to CMC, Miles Sanders or D Henry.

But the last two games the Falcoons have been able to keep oppoising running backs in check, last week it was J Taylor.  This week vs the Packers, they was able to hold J Carruthers to 33 yards on 16 carries.  

But the big story was that the Falcons defense picked off J Love 5 times, including a game ender by G Jarrett on a tipped screen pass tot he running back.

WR D Adams got his  (6 for 126 and 1td) but corners AJ Terrell and K Sheffield didn't make it easy for Adams and new addition O Beckham Jr..

On offense, the Packers D was boxing the Falcons pass game up, but T Gurley was able to get loose for 186 yards and 3 tds to put the Falcons in the lead and keep them there.

Next up in Week 16, the Jax Jaguars and hard running L Fournette.
