The streak had looked in danger during the first half where Atlanta took the wind out of Green Bay's high octane offense with two time-consuming drives that gave the Falcons a 14-0 lead, but the Packers rallied with 25 unanswered points.
Despite losing starting offensive tackle Chad Clifton to a hamstring injury in the second quarter that allowed the Atlanta defense to put pressure on Rodgers, three Mason Crosby field goals cut the deficit to 14-9 with 5:33 left in the third.
Rodgers then found his touch with a go-ahead 70-yard touchdown pass to James Jones about two minutes later, and a 29-yard scoring toss to Greg Jennings at the start of the fourth.
Atlanta's Matt Ryan threw interceptions on the team's final two possessions as he tried to lead the Falcons back, while Rodgers finished the game having completed passes to 12 differen t receivers.
