GREEN BAY, Wis. — The Green Bay Packers’ 13-game winning streak in home openers came to a crashing halt on Thursday night as the Atlanta Falcons dominated from start to finish, handing Green Bay a humiliating 35-14 loss at Lambeau Field.
Frustrated home fans booed the Packers off the field at multiple points during the second half as Green Bay fell to 1-2 on the season.
Despite taking an early 7-0 lead on a Jordan Love touchdown pass to Christian Watson, Green Bay quickly lost control. The Falcons answered with 27 unanswered points to blow the game wide open.
Key Game Highlights & Stats:
- Running Game Domination: Atlanta outrushed Green Bay 242 yards to 17. Falcons running back Bijan Robinson led the charge with 194 rushing yards and two touchdowns.
