Green Bay Packers’ Head Coach Matt LaFleur was dealt a major blow ahead of their Week Four encounter against the Atlanta Falcons. The Wisconsin-based franchise started the game without two of their top wideouts, Davante Adams and Allen Lazard. Despite their absence, the Aaron Rodgers-led Green Bay Packers started off on a strong note against a hurting Falcons outfit.
They found themselves leading with a tally of 20-3 by half-time itself. A major reason behind their dominance was the performance of veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The star quarterback threw four passing TDs in the first-half itself to put the home team in a comfortable position.
Twitter was blown away by how the Packers dominated the Falcons with many popular personalities offering their two cents about the same on social media.

Twitter reacts to Robert Tonyan’s epic outing at Lambeau Field
That's Robert Tonyan's third touchdown catch of the season. He's the first Packers TE with a TD in three straight games since Jermichael Finley (2011-12) and he's the only TE in the NFL with a TD in three straight games this season. https://t.co/URW5dzevtf

Robert Tonyan has four touchdowns in four games this season. Jimmy Graham had five touchdowns in two years with the Packers.

Robert Tonyan trains each offseason with George Kittle, you know. It's becoming less cute.
Tonyan now with four TDs this season, two on the night, and looks like he's becoming a potential stud.

Robert Tonyan has been with the Packers since 2017. It’s a well-known fact that the undrafted tight end is a good friend to the San Francisco 49ers star George Kittle. In fact, both these athletes spend a lot of time practicing in the offseason. No wonder Tonyan is emulating his friend this season with some eye-catching plays in 2020.
