Shades of the Super Bowl began to creep in over Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Sunday. What was once a 34-10 Atlanta Falcons’ lead shrunk to a 34-23 advantage over the Green Bay Packers.

Quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw a shovel pass to running back Ty Montgomery for a one-yard touchdown pass with 5:51 left in the fourth quarter. That capped off a eight-play, 85-drive that took 3:44.

That was Rodgers 300th career touchdown pass.
