The Green Bay Packers return home Thursday night for a Week 3 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons, with both teams looking to make an early statement after very different starts to the season.
The Green Bay Packers host the Atlanta Falcons at Lambeau Field for a Thursday night Week 3 matchup. Green Bay enters with a 1-1 record following a 20-17 overtime victory against the New York Jets, while Atlanta sits at 0-2 after losing 34-3 to the Carolina Panthers. Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. is set to make his 2026 season debut after recovering from an ACL tear sustained in 2025.
Green Bay aims to extend its 13-game winning streak in home openers while navigating multiple roster absences. Wide receiver Jayden Reed and guard Aaron Banks have been ruled out, and defensive tackle Javon Hargrave is listed as questionable. The Packers also seek to reduce penalties, having led the league in penalty yards through the first two weeks.
