The Falcons had some fun at Aaron Rodgers’ expense Sunday night, sacking the Packers quarterback three times in a 34-23 win in Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Nobody put a better hit on the two-time NFL MVP than Atlanta’s Vic Beasley, who will be out for a while with a hamstring injury sustained later in the game.
He nailed Rodgers early in the second half, leading to a fumble -- reviewed by officials as it had the look of possibly being an incomplete forward pass -- that cornerback Desmond Trufant returned 15 yards for a touchdown and a 31-7 Atlanta lead. That produced this gem on Monday:
Rodgers has made a slew of commercials in recent years for State Farm. He’s noted for promoting the “discount double check,” but he had no insurance against the Falcons Sunday.
