Falcons upset Packers in Michael Penix Jr.'s return from ACL injury
xCruzo Brief
The Atlanta Falcons looked dramatically different when Michael Penix Jr. returned from a torn ACL, topping the Green Bay Packers 35-14 on Thursday night at Lambeau Field. After a first two-week stretch that produced 16 combined points—an NFL low—Atlanta’s offense re-energized in primetime. Penix completed 18 of 25 passes for 256 yards, a touchdown and an interception, and settled after an early pick. He helped fuel a dominant rushing attack of 244 yards, with Bijan Robinson running for 194 and scoring, plus a touchdown from Brian Robinson Jr. Drake London added nine catches for 194 yards. Defensively, the Falcons held Jordan Love to 28-of-52 for 312 yards, two TDs and one INT, while limiting Green Bay to just 17 rushing yards.
