- Bijan Robinson scored two touchdowns to lead the Falcons to their first win of the season on Thursday night at Lambeau Field
- Michael Penix Jr. got the start at quarterback for Atlanta, returning from last season's torn left ACL, while Tua Tagovailoa (oblique) was also available
- Atlanta Falcons entered the game at 0-2 after losses to the Pittsburgh Steelers and Carolina Panthers, with both quarterbacks sidelined by injuries
- Jordan Love made his 2026 home debut for the Packers, who entered 1-1 after a Week 1 loss to the Minnesota Vikings and a comeback win over the New York Jets
- Micah Parsons remained sidelined for Green Bay as he recovers from a torn ACL sustained in December
- Green Bay Packers hosted the matchup at Lambeau Field on Thursday night, still awaiting Parsons' return to the edge-rushing corps
Why it matters: Atlanta avoided an 0-3 start while simultaneously getting Penix back from a torn ACL and Tagovailoa healthy from an oblique injury, restoring unexpected quarterback depth for the Falcons; Green Bay, meanwhile, opened its home slate missing top edge rusher Micah Parsons, leaving its pass rush compromised as the Packers chase an NFC North run.
