The Packers started off slow offensively and only had a 6-3 lead at the half. In the second-half, Rodgers and the offense got things going and the former two-time MVP tossed three touchdown passes.

With no Eddie Lacy and Eddie Starks, the running back position was thin, but Ty Montgomery stepped in and was extremely efficient (9 carries for 60 yards). Can the Packers continue to rely on Montgomery in the backfield?

Staying on the offensive side of the ball, Davante Adams had a career game hauling in 13 passes for 132 yards and two touchdowns. Adams has showcased his abilities since entering the NFL, but his biggest issue has been his consistency. Can the Packers finally start depending more on Adams?

As for Aaron Rodgers, he threw the ball a ton Thursday and Rodgers finished the game with 326 yards and three touchdowns. Is Rodgers finally getting his groove back?

The injury bug continues to hit the Packers. Wide receiver Jared Abbrederis was placed on injured reserve with a thigh injury. As a result, summer stand out Geronimo Allison has been promoted to the active roster, what role will Allison have?

In addition, cornerback Damarious Randall will likely miss several weeks after having surgery on his groin, which means LaDarius Gunter is the Packers’ No.1 corner. Will he be able to contain Julio Jones?

The Packers head to Atlanta to take on the 4-3 Falcons. Atlanta is coming off a devastating home loss against the San Diego Chargers, what do the Packers need to do to beat the dirty birds?

All these questions and more are answered in the latest episode of the Tundra Talk podcast.
