Green Bay Packers struggle with running game in loss to Atlanta Falcons

The Green Bay Packers fell to 1-2 after a 35-14 defeat to the Atlanta Falcons on September 24, 2026, at Lambeau Field. This loss raised questions about the team's running game, which averaged just 48.7 rushing yards per game, ranking last in the NFL. In the game, Falcons running back Bijan Robinson outperformed the entire Packers rushing attack, finishing with 194 rushing yards. Packers quarterback Jordan Love faced significant pressure, with 44.4% of his dropbacks resulting in pressure, leading to poor performance and struggles with pass blocking. The team now has a mini-bye week to regroup and address these issues.
