Atlanta Falcons defeat Green Bay Packers 35-14 in home opener

NFL Atlanta Falcons Green Bay Packers Lambeau Field Thursday Night Football

The Atlanta Falcons secured their first victory of the 2026 season with a dominant 35-14 win over the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field. The victory was highlighted by the return of quarterback Michael Penix Jr., who made his season debut following an ACL recovery, throwing for 256 yards and one touchdown.

Running back Bijan Robinson led the Falcons' offense, recording 194 rushing yards and two touchdowns. Wide receiver Drake London also contributed significantly with 194 receiving yards on nine catches. Atlanta's offense overcame an early 7-0 deficit to score 27 consecutive points.

The Packers (1-2) struggled significantly, particularly with a decimated offensive line and a lack of a rushing attack, managing only 17 rushing yards. Quarterback Jordan Love completed 28 of 53 passes for 312 yards, including two touchdowns, but also threw one interception. The loss leaves Green Bay facing questions regarding their offensive execution and depth, especially with key players like Josh Jacobs and Micah Parsons sidelined.
