Atlanta Falcons Deliver a Statement Win Over the Packers
The Atlanta Falcons delivered one of the biggest statements of Week 3, crushing the Green Bay Packers 35-14 at Lambeau Field in a dominant performance that marked Atlanta’s first win of the 2026 NFL season.
Michael Penix Jr. made an impressive return to the starting lineup, while Bijan Robinson and Drake London powered an Atlanta offense that overwhelmed Green Bay throughout the night.
The Falcons overcame an early 7-0 deficit by scoring 27 consecutive points and never looked back.
Penix completed 18 of 25 passes for 256 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in his return. Robinson produced 194 rushing yards and two touchdowns, while London exploded for nine receptions and 194 receiving yards.
Bijan Robinson Leads Atlanta’s Offense
Running back Bijan Robinson was one of the biggest stars of the night. He rushed 29 times for 194 yards and two touchdowns while adding 19 receiving yards, finishing with more than 200 total yards from scrimmage.
The Falcons finished with 242 rushing yards and 498 total yards, controlling the game for more than 37 minutes. Atlanta also converted six of 10 third-down opportunities.
Drake London Makes a Huge Impact
Wide receiver Drake London delivered a career-highlight performance, catching nine passes for 194 yards.
His big plays helped Atlanta turn an early deficit into a comfortable lead and gave the Falcons another major weapon alongside Robinson.
Packers Struggle to Find a Running Game
Green Bay quarterback Jordan Love completed 28 of 53 passes for 312 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception.
Matthew Golden recorded his first 100-yard receiving game and caught a touchdown, while Christian Watson also scored.
However, the Packers managed only 17 rushing yards on nine attempts, while Atlanta’s ground game consistently moved the chains.
What the Win Means for the Falcons
Atlanta improved to 1-2 with the victory, while Green Bay also moved to 1-2.
For the Falcons, the performance provides an important boost after the team’s difficult opening two games.
With Penix Jr. back at quarterback and Robinson and London producing at an elite level, Atlanta showed it can generate a powerful offensive attack when its key players are healthy.
