Packers booed in a Lambeau flop as they get blown out by Falcons in home opener
- On Thursday, September 24, 2026, the Atlanta Falcons defeated the Green Bay Packers 35-14 at Lambeau Field in the Packers' home opener, with quarterback Michael Penix Jr. returning from a torn ACL to lead Atlanta to their first season victory.
- A makeshift offensive line missing guard Aaron Banks hindered the Packers' protection of quarterback Jordan Love, while Green Bay committed an NFL-high 26 penalties through the first two weeks, compounding their struggles.
- Running back Bijan Robinson dominated with 194 yards and two touchdowns, while the Falcons significantly outrushed Green Bay 242 yards to 17, exposing the Packers' previously solid run defense.
- The Lambeau Field crowd booed the 1-2 Packers for much of the second half, and Green Bay now faces a potential crossroads before the end of September following this lopsided home defeat.
- While Green Bay previously made three consecutive postseason appearances, the Packers currently trail the 2-0 Minnesota Vikings in the NFC North and must pivot to upcoming challenges after this home-opener loss.
