The Green Bay Packers suffered a 35-14 loss to the Atlanta Falcons at Lambeau Field on Thursday night, snapping their 13-game winning streak at home. Quarterback Jordan Love struggled throughout the game, finishing with 312 passing yards, two touchdowns, and an interception while under constant pressure from the Falcons' defense.
The Packers' inability to protect Love exposed a significant issue in their pass protection, which exposed their offensive plans and led to only 17 rushing yards. The Atlanta Falcons' relentless pressure resulted in 15 quick pressures against Green Bay, the second most in a single game this season, according to NFL analyst Mina Kimes.
Only Minnesota managed to generate more pressure, with 17 quick pressures in their Week 1 loss to the Packers. The Green Bay Packers have now allowed opposing defenses to generate 32 quick pressures against their starting quarterback in just three games, indicating a deeper breakdown in pass protection. Atlanta's strong performance was bolstered by running back Bijan Robinson, who ran for 194 yards and two touchdowns on 29 carries, and wide receiver Drake London, who caught nine passes for 194 yards.
