The Atlanta Falcons' first victory of the season saw some new trends emerge in terms of playing time.
The Atlanta Falcons secured a 35-14 victory over the Green Bay Packers on Thursday Night Football at Lambeau Field in Week 3 of the 2026 season. Quarterback Michael Penix Jr. returned to action, while Atlanta's defense, coordinated by Jeff Ulbrich, effectively contained Packers quarterback Jordan Love.
Defensive line rotations revealed near-equal snap distributions in Ulbrich's base 3-4 front, with Gervon Dexter Sr. logging 30 snaps and Maason Smith playing 34 snaps. Brandon Dorlus led the group with 43 snaps, while Zach Harrison recorded 19 snaps and blocked a field goal.
