Atlanta walked into Lambeau and beat Green Bay up in two completely different ways. Bijan Robinson ran for 194 yards and two touchdowns on 29 carries, while Drake London roasted the Packers through the air with nine catches for 194 yards. Michael Penix Jr. stayed efficient in the middle of it all, completing 18 of 25 passes for 256 yards and a touchdown as the Falcons piled up 498 total yards in a 35-14 win. After Green Bay scored first, Atlanta answered with 17 straight points, then kept leaning on the Packers until the game broke open. Brian Robinson Jr. added a rushing touchdown, and Austin Hooper caught Penix’s lone scoring pass.
Green Bay’s biggest problem was that its offense became completely one-dimensional. The Packers finished with only 17 rushing yards, forcing Jordan Love to throw 53 times. Love still produced 312 yards and two touchdowns, with Matthew Golden going for 100 yards and a score and Christian Watson adding 96 yards and another touchdown, but the volume never translated into control. Atlanta owned possession for more than 37 minutes, converted 6 of 10 third downs and averaged 7.5 yards per play. Xavier Watts also intercepted Love, and the Falcons never allowed Green Bay to seriously threaten after halftime.
