The Green Bay Packers are going back on the road in Week 2 to play the Atlanta Falcons, a somewhat uncommon opponent who has faced the Packers only twice in the last five years. Green Bay most recently beat Atlanta 30-16 at Lambeau Field in 2020.
Like the Packers, Arthur Smith’s team is 1-0 after a big divisional win in Week 1. The Falcons used three total touchdowns from Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier to take down Bryce Young and the Carolina Panthers in the season opener at Mercedes Benz Stadium.
Can the Packers score a second straight road win, or will the Falcons start the season 2-0 at home?
First things first, let’s get to know the Falcons.
