What happened: The Atlanta Falcons secured their first victory of the 2026 season with a 35-14 win over the Green Bay Packers on Thursday night. Analyst Dan Orlovsky described Green Bay's performance as "inept," noting he had never seen the Packers run out of their home building in that manner.
Why it matters: ESPN's Get Up characterized the outcome as "jarring for Green Bay" following the 21-point home defeat. The road victory gives Atlanta its first win after two consecutive losses to open the year.
By the numbers: Green Bay lost a home opener for the first time in 14 seasons, snapping a 13-game winning streak. Atlanta scored 35 points after going winless in weeks one and two.
What to watch: Both teams face an extended break before their respective Week 4 matchups.
