Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers brought up one of the darkest moments in the history of the Atlanta Falcons ahead of the NFC Championship Game.

The Falcons were found to have injected artificial crowd noise into the Georgia Dome for the 2014 and 2015 season, and were docked a fifth-round pick and handed a $350,000 fine.

Asked about the Falcons' home-field advantage, Rodgers couldn't help but poke fun at the team over the controversy.

"It's really loud in there. Whether that's all natural or not is yet to be seen," Rodgers said Friday via Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette.

It was expected that Falcons fans would try to make life miserable for Rodgers and the Packers, but now they've been given an extra bit of motivation, with a Super Bowl berth on the line.
