Matt Bryant connected on a 47-yard field goal with nine seconds left to give
the Atlanta Falcons a hard-fought 20-17 win over the Green Bay Packers at the
Georgia Dome. Matt Ryan was 24-for-28 with 198 yards and a score and Michael
Turner added 110 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries for the Falcons (9-2),
who have won their past five games. Tony Gonzalez had six catches for 51 yards
and a touchdown in the victory. The win allowed Atlanta to stay a game ahead
of New Orleans, which defeated Dallas on Thanksgiving, for the top spot in the
NFC South. Green Bay now sits a game behind Chicago, which downed Philadelphia on Sunday, for the top spot in the NFC North.
