Falcons vs. Packers Odds, How to Watch, Injuries for NFL Week 3

GREEN BAY – The Atlanta Falcons are heading north, desperate for the first win of the Kevin Stefanski era. Their Thursday night showdown with the Packers will be the first of three straight prime-time matchups for the struggling Falcons, but the short week could do them some good.

Week 2 was a nightmare for the Falcons. The Carolina Panthers blew them out in their home opener, turning them over five times and suffocating an already struggling offense. They remain the only team in the NFL not to reach the red zone, becoming the first team since 2008 to do so, and have an NFL-worst team passer rating of 38.2 through those two games.

But the Dirty Birds have their guy back.

The team announced on Monday that Michael Penix Jr. will return for Week 3. Thursday will be his first appearance since tearing his ACL in Week 11 of last year, so he may need to shake off some rust, but his presence should be a shot in the arm for this offense and this team.

On the other side of the ball, the Falcons will be tasked with slowing down a potent Packers’ passing attack. Jordan Love will be licking his chops while reviewing the Week 2 tape that Bryce Young put up – he diced the Falcons up to the turn of 23-of-36, 287 yards, and three touchdowns, including 8-of-11 on passes of 10+ yards for 197 yards and a touchdown.

The Packers also have some recent history on their side, having won each of their last 13 home openers (tied for the longest streak in NFL history with the 1976-88 Miami Dolphins). It will be a tough test for the Falcons, but here’s everything you need to know to watch their Week 3 matchup with the Packers.
