Fresh off a thrilling victory in what was billed as “The Game of The Year,” head coach Mike McCarthy rewarded his team with an extra day off.
“I wanted the players to have an extra day off this week,” McCarthy said at his press conference Monday, via Mike Spofford of Packers.com. “I’ve liked that little break before the fourth quarter of our season, and I’m trying to create that here with the Monday night game.”
So when the Green Bay Packers (9-3) host the Atlanta Falcons (5-7) at Lambeau Field on Monday Night Football at 8:30 p.m. ET, McCarthy’s squad should be rested, relaxed and ready to lay down another home beatdown.
The Pack is unscathed at home this season (6-0) and has outscored its last five visiting opponents 214-82, an average score of 42.8-16.4. Fast starts have been key, with a first-quarter margin of 79-0 in those games.
