FALCONS TAKEAWAYS: Atlanta spends a lot of time focusing on takeaways with its young, speedy defense, so coach Dan Quinn was a bit surprised when the Falcons failed to recover a fumble or intercept a pass against the Bears.
Assuming the weather is good — and the forecast called for evening temperatures in the 60s and only a slight chance of rain — the retractable roof at Mercedes-Benz Stadium will be open for the first time during a game.
"We do play each other a lot, and we're two really good teams," he said. "Even though we've won the last two games, man, we go into these weeks with a lot of respect for then. We know what kind of team this is. We know have come with our 'A' game every time. This is a team you have to play championship football against."
JULIO'S IMPACT: Coming off offseason foot surgery, Falcons star receiver Julio Jones didn't have much of an impact in a season-opening victory at Chicago. He was targeted five times and caught four passes for 66 yards. This is not unusual in Atlanta's multifaceted offense, especially when opposing defenses focus their attention on Jones.
All three of those games have been in Atlanta, though this one will be at a new venue.
"Clay is back to his traditional role as pass rusher, so there will be some family-on-family crime there," Quinn joked.
Here are some things to watch for when the Falcons host the Packers in prime time:
But Atlanta avoided a third straight loss when Matt Ryan tossed an 11-yard scoring pass to Mohamed Sanu with 31 seconds remaining,http://www.theworldsoccersshop.com/Belgium-Jordan-Lukaku-Jersey.html, pulling out a 33-32 victory.
LOOK TO THE SKIES: The Falcons are set to play their first open-air home game since 1991, their final season at Atlanta Fulton-County Stadium.
The one-time receiver also presents a matchup problem for defenses because of his ability to catch passes out of the backfield. Montgomery showed he can handle a full workload after taking 90 percent of the offensive snaps. The Packers will always be a passing team first behind Rodgers, but Montgomery helps keep defenses honest.
Last season, the teams first met in Week 8 with the Falcons coming off two straight excruciating losses. Aaron Rodgers threw four touchdown passes, the last of which put Green Bay ahead with just under 4 minutes remaining.

The Falcons (1-0) are making the regular-season debut at $1.5 billion Mercedes-Benz Stadium, which replaced the Georgia Dome.
ON THE RUN: Ty Montgomery pounded out some tough yards in the second half to help wear down the Seahawks, a promising debut in his first full season exclusively as a running back.

While downplaying talk of a budding rivalry, Falcons safety Ricardo Allen acknowledged that any game against the Packers carries a little extra juice.
Both teams went on to make the playoffs, and Green Bay knocked off top-seeded Dallas to set up a rematch with the Falcons in the NFC championship game. That one was a blowout for Atlanta, which raced out to a 24-0 halftime lead and cruised to a 44-21 triumph.
"It's past," he said. "You can't rewrite history. It's just two 1-0 teams who both think we can be there at the end of the season. These are the type of games, like last week, that you win these games and you feel better in December and January when you're coming down to filling out that 12-team bracket."
The Packers allowed him to run wild in the NFC title game,Air Max 97 Silver Bullet For Sale, giving up nine catches for 180 yards and two touchdowns, but that was with the cornerback position ravaged by injuries. Green Bay is healthy again and added two key players, Davon House and rookie Kevin King. The strengthened unit shut down Russell Wilson and the Seahawks' passing game in Week 1.
ATLANTA (AP) — This is becoming a bit of a rivalry.
"We've seen a lot of them," Falcons defensive end Brooks Reed said, breaking into a smile. "I'm sure they're sick of coming down here. But we like it."
Green Bay (1-0) is coming off a season-opening victory over Seattle at Lambeau Field.
FAMILY AFFAIR: First cousins Clay and Jake Matthews figure to see plenty of each other in this one. Clay is moving around again from the outside linebacker position and playing a key role in Green Bay's pass rush, while Jake is responsible for protecting Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan's blind side at the crucial left tackle spot.
That was a priority in practice going into Week 2, along with improved tackling. The Falcons had 11 missed tackles at Chicago, two of them on a 46-yard run by rook
