The Packers put together a nice touchdown drive of their own after the Falcons took an early lead in the first quarter of Sunday night’s game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

The drive took 11 plays, went 75 yards, lasted 6:08 and ended with a Ty Montgomery one-yard touchdown run. Falcons cornerback Keanu Neal extended the drive on a third-and-7 from the Falcons 40-yard line when he committed a pass interference.

Four plays later Montgomery punched it into the end zone. Montgomery accounted for 39 yards on the Packers drive.
