Winners and losers from Packers Thursday Night Football dud vs. Falcons

That pretty much summed up an ugly Thursday night game in Wisconsin, the Falcons steamrolling the Packers 35-14 for their first win of the season as QB Michael Penix Jr. made his 2026 debut. Atlanta, which had 16 points all season entering the game, rolled off 27 in a row at one point in a runaway that immediately restored them to relevance in the NFC South. The Pack, meanwhile, moved into the basement of the NFC North with a 1-2 record that somehow seems far more problematic than Atlanta's.
