Tight end Robert Tonyan caught three of Aaron Rodgers‘ four touchdown passes, Za’Darius Smith recorded three sacks and the Packers remained unbeaten with a 30-16 victory over the winless Atlanta Falcons on Monday night. The Packers (4-0) have opened a season by scoring at least 30 points in four straight games for the first time in franchise history. Green Bay star receiver Davante Adams sat out a second straight game with a hamstring injury and Allen Lazard is on injured reserve with a core problem. A knee injury sidelined veteran tight end Marcedes Lewis.
Yet Rodgers capitalized on Atlanta’s depleted secondary.
Tonyan had touchdown receptions of 19 and 8 yards to cap the Packers’ final two first-half possessions. He added a 21-yard touchdown reception midway through the third quarter.
The 2017 undrafted free agent from Indiana State finished the night with six catches for 98 yards along with his three touchdowns to set career highs in all three categories.
Rodgers went 27 of 33 for 327 yards. He has thrown 13 touchdown passes without an interception this season.
