Quick Summary

During a home game between the Green Bay Packers and the Atlanta Falcons, a visibly distressed Packers fan was shown checking her pulse as her team fell behind by 20 points in the fourth quarter. After losing to the Falcons with a score of 35-14, Packers tight end Tucker Kraft expressed disappointment over hearing boos from the crowd rather than supportive cheers. He argued that while the booing does not help rally the team, the players are mentally strong enough to handle it. The loss marked Green Bay's largest home defeat under head coach Matt LaFleur and dropped their record to 1-2 for the season.

Story summary

Michael Penix Jr., who suffered a torn ACL in November 2025, was named the starting quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons against the Green Bay Packers on September 24, just one week after the Falcons' brutal 34-3 loss to the Carolina Panthers. The Falcons hope that Penix's return will provide a spark to an offense that failed to reach the red zone in their first two games of the season. Penix worked hard during his recovery and is set to play for the first time since November 16, 2025. Meanwhile, Tua Tagovailoa will back up Penix after missing the first two regular-season games due to an oblique injury. The game, which starts at 8:15 p.m. ET, is streamed exclusively on Prime Video. Despite being winless (0-2), the Falcons aim for their first victory of the season against a Packers team that comes into this home opener with a record of 1-1 following an overtime win over the New York Jets. The game will be played at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
