- Christian Watson caught a 4-yard touchdown pass from Jordan Love, with Trey Smack adding the extra point to give Green Bay a 7-0 lead at the 5:13 mark of the first quarter.
- Green Bay's scoring drive covered 87 yards on 9 plays over 4:53, capped by Watson's reception.
- Michael Penix is 2-of-6 for 22 yards with one interception through the early Falcons drives, targeting Kyle Pitts twice (one 5-yard reception).
- Atlanta's current drive opened with a 5-yard Penix pass to Pitts to the Falcons' own 20, as Green Bay's win probability climbed to 84.9%.
- Xavier McKinney recorded the tackle on Pitts' catch, part of a Packers defense that has already forced an interception from Penix.
Why it matters: An early Packers touchdown on a sustained 87-yard drive, paired with a Michael Penix interception and a sub-30% completion rate, has Green Bay sitting at an 84.9% win probability before the first quarter ends — a strong early-game edge for a home team that converted in the red zone.
