Summary
Atlanta earned its first win of 2026 by routing Green Bay 35-14, with Bijan Robinson totaling 213 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns in the Packers' home opener.
Michael Penix Jr., playing for the first time in 312 days after another season-ending injury, shook off an early interception to finish 18-of-25 for 256 yards and a touchdown.
Drake London gave Penix a steady target with nine catches for 194 yards, while Atlanta's defense held Green Bay to seven first-half points and stopped a key second-half drive on downs at the Falcons' 8.
Green Bay fell to 1-2 as its offensive line issues, weak run game and third-down struggles persisted; the Packers have now lost their home opener for the first time since 2012.
