Bijan Robinson Runs Roughshod over the Packers as the Falcons Breeze to a 35-14 Victory
Bijan Robinson rushed for 194 yards and two touchdowns as Atlanta piled up 498 total yards and handed Green Bay its first home-opener loss since 2012.
- On Thursday, September 24, 2026, the Atlanta Falcons routed the Green Bay Packers 35-14 at Lambeau Field, securing their first win of the season. Quarterback Michael Penix Jr. made his 2026 debut, leading the offensive explosion.
- Head coach Kevin Stefanski started Penix after the Falcons entered with an 0-2 record and league-low 16 points. Penix returned from a torn ACL last November, tasked with revitalizing an offense that had not run a single red zone play.
- Running back Bijan Robinson rushed for 194 yards and two touchdowns on 29 carries, while receiver Drake London caught nine passes for 194 yards. Defensive tackle Zach Harrison blocked a 47-yard field goal attempt that set up an Atlanta touchdown.
- Green Bay fell to 1-2 and suffered their first home-opening loss since 2012, snapping a 13-year streak. Jordan Love finished 28-of-53 for 312 yards, but the Packers managed only 17 rushing yards as frustrated fans booed.
- The Falcons travel to New Orleans to face the Saints on October 5, while the Packers visit Tampa Bay on October 4. Both teams seek to reset their offensive and defensive schemes heading into divisional play.
