Summary
Green Bay fell to 1-2 after Atlanta routed the Packers 35-14 at Lambeau Field, intensifying scrutiny on LaFleur despite the multi-year extension he signed earlier this year.
One-sided flaws drove the loss: Jordan Love struggled under pressure, the offensive line faltered, and the offense again lacked balance, drawing boos from the home crowd.
Atlanta broke through behind Bijan Robinson’s 194 rushing yards and two touchdowns, repeatedly punishing a defense that had centered its game plan on stopping him.
Michael Penix Jr., back healthy after his 2025 ACL tear, recovered from an early interception and leaned on play-action, while Drake London erupted for 194 yards on nine catches.
The defeat deepened a broader slide for Green Bay, which is now 1-7 in its last eight games dating to last season’s wild-card round.
