ATLANTA, GA – The Atlanta Falcons opened Mercedes Benz Stadium in much the same way that they closed the Georgia Dome eight months ago: with a win over the Green Bay Packers.
Devonta Freeman had a pair of touchdown runs and Desmond Trufant had an interception and a fumble recovery returned for a touchdown as the Falcons downed the Packers 34-23.
Kevin Kugler and Jason Taylor called the action on Westwood One.
