Penix returned to action, but Robinson led the way for Atlanta in his team's surprising 35-14 upset win over Green Bay on Thursday night.

Bijan Robinson amassed 213 total yards and scored two touchdowns to lead the Atlanta Falcons to a 35-14 victory over the Green Bay Packers on Thursday night. Quarterback Michael Penix Jr. returned to the field for his first game in 312 days, completing 18 of 25 passes for 256 yards and a touchdown despite throwing an early interception. The defeat marked the first home-opener loss for Green Bay since 2012.
Atlanta wide receiver Drake London posted nine receptions for 194 yards as Penix's primary target. The Packers struggled offensively with running game issues and third-down woes, failing to convert a crucial drive that ended on downs at Atlanta's 8-yard line in the second half.
