The box from Lambeau

The Thursday box is a 35–14 Falcons win at Lambeau, and the sheet is lopsided in the one column that matters. Atlanta ran for 242 yards. Green Bay ran for 17. The Packers led 7–0 on a 4-yard Christian Watson catch and did not lead again.

Bijan Robinson carried 29 times for 194 yards and two touchdowns, a 3-yarder that tied it in the first quarter and a 2-yard walk-in that made it 35–14. Drake London caught 9 passes for 194 yards, including a 40-yard catch-and-run that set up the last score. Michael Penix Jr. was 18-of-25 for 256, a touchdown, and an interception. Brian Robinson added a 7-yard scoring run. Nick Folk hit from 44 and 31. Atlanta held the ball for 37:05.

Jordan Love was 28-of-53 for 312 yards, two touchdowns, and a late interception. The scores were Watson from 4 and Matthew Golden from 15. Green Bay’s rushing line was nine carries for 17 yards. It was the Packers’ first home-opener loss since 2012. Both teams left 1–2.

Two Sooners wore Atlanta. Kendal Daniels, the linebacker, had three tackles, two of them solo, and a tackle for loss. Billy Bowman Jr., the safety, had one tackle and broke up two passes. No Sooner was on the Green Bay side of the sheet.

The quarters at the top of this page are the column. Falcons 7, 10, 7, 11. Packers 7, 0, 0, 7. A 55-yard Robinson run was the longest of the NFL season to that night. In Green Bay, the crimson was all in one secondary and one linebacker corps, and the visitors kept the football.
