ATLANTA (AP) - The Green Bay Packers lost another offensive tackle when Chad Clifton left Sunday night's game against the Atlanta Falcons with a hamstring injury. Clifton was bowled over by Falcons defensive end Ray Edwards in the second quarter and remained on the turf, clutching his right leg. He had to be helped to the sideline and then was carted to the locker room. The Packers said he was unlikely to return to the game. Green Bay already was missing right tackle Bryan Bulaga, who missed his second |

| (MySportsbook) - It's been 46 years since the Green Bay Packers opened a campaign with five straight victories. The Atlanta Falcons would love to deny them a 5-0 start and avenge last season's home postseason loss, but know they must slow down the league's hottest quarterback to do so. The Aaron Rodgers-led Packers return to the Georgia Dome on Sunday for the first time since a 48-21 NFC Divisional Playoff victory over the Falcons on Jan. 15, part of a current 10-game winning streak that includes a win over |

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) - Talk about being on the spot. The Atlanta Falcons secondary already looks a bit shaky after giving up 319 yards and three touchdowns to Seattle's Tarvaris Jackson, who's not one of the NFL's elite quarterbacks. Now it's time to face the hottest QB in the league. Hunker down, Falcons. Aaron Rodgers is coming back to town. The Green Bay signal-caller already carved up Atlanta's defense in last season's playoffs, a clinic of a performance on the way to the Packers winning the |

He believes the sack number doesn't measure Matthews' full impact. ``Clay's disrupting plays all over the place,'' Zombo said Thursday as the Packers prepared for Sunday night's game against the Atlanta Falcons. ``He's getting a lot of criticism right now or whatever because he only has one sack, but you have a guy like that taking up three blocks and still getting quarterback hits, that's obviously taking away from the offensive line and allowing other |

| Philadelphia, PA (MySportsbook) - The New York Jets and Pittsburgh Steelers probably don't like one another very much, but the two teams do share quite a bit in common. Same can be said for the Philadelphia Eagles and Atlanta Falcons. All four of the above posted double-digit victories and reached the playoffs in 2010, and entered this season harboring big plans predicated on those past accomplishments. And none has yet to play up to those lofty standards, with the combined crew compiling an overall record |

Trailing by two with less than two minutes to go in the game, Seattle began its the final drive from the 15-yard line. The Seahawks moved the ball up to the Atlanta 45 and looked to be in good shape to steal the game, with 22 seconds left and still holding on to one timeout. On 2nd-and-10 however, Sidney Ri |
