Packers news: Even Matt LaFleur has no idea where to look with offense drowning

The Green Bay Packers faced one of their most embarrassing performances in recent memory, as the team suffered a 35-14 loss to the Atlanta Falcons at Lambeau Field on Thursday. Head coach Matt LaFleur seemed baffled by the offense's struggles, stating after the game that he wasn't sure what the team was doing well offensively. The lackluster performance was evident in the Packers punting the ball five times, with punter Daniel Whelan having a busy night as the team went 6-of-15 on third downs and 2-of-3 on fourth downs.

The Packers' offense struggled mightily, with Jordan Love completing only 28 of his 53 passes for two touchdowns and an interception. The offensive woes were compounded by the Falcons' resurgence, led by running back Bijan Robinson, who rushed for 194 yards and two touchdowns on 29 carries. The Falcons' passing game also gelled, with Michael Penix Jr. throwing for 256 yards and a touchdown, aided by a strong performance from wide receiver Drake London, who racked up 194 receiving yards on nine catches.

The 1-2 Packers will look to regroup and hope for improvement in their next matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa on Week 3.
