Overview
- Atlanta beat Green Bay 35-14 in Thursday night’s Week 3 game at Lambeau Field, handing the Packers a second loss and giving the Falcons their first win of the season.
- Bijan Robinson carried the attack with 29 rushes for 194 yards and two touchdowns, and he reached 6,000 career rushing yards before turning 25, a milestone reached by only a handful of NFL players.
- Michael Penix Jr. returned to the Falcons’ starting lineup after tearing his ACL on November 16, 2025, and he connected with Austin Hooper on a key touchdown that helped build Atlanta’s halftime lead.
- Green Bay’s offense struggled without suspended running back Josh Jacobs, and the Packers failed to respond after an early score by Christian Watson, leaving questions about their rushing and second-half adjustments.
- The result reshapes early expectations for both teams and raises what to watch next: Atlanta’s reliance on Robinson to sustain drives and Green Bay’s need to revive its ground game and play-calling.
