The Atlanta Falcons flew into Lambeau Field and completely dominated the Green Bay Packers on Thursday Night Football, winning 35–14 in a game that wasn't even as close as the score looks. Running back Bijan Robinson was absolutely unstoppable, carrying the ball 29 times for a jaw-dropping 194 yards and 2 touchdowns. That's nearly 6.7 yards every single time he touched the ball — wow!
Green Bay's Jordan Love tried his best to keep up, throwing for 312 yards on 28-of-53 passing with 2 touchdowns, but he also tossed an interception and the Packers' defense simply couldn't slow down Atlanta's offense. This loss drops Green Bay to 1-2 on the season, putting them near the bottom of the NFC North. The Falcons improve to 1-2 — a weird record after a blowout win, but they'll take it!
Robinson's 194 rushing yards make this one of the best individual rushing performances of the young NFL season. If Atlanta can get more of that, watch out — the NFC South is wide open!
Just one game on Thursday, and it was a blowout! The Falcons stomped the Packers 35–14 at Lambeau Field. Check the standings — the Bills, Bengals, Chiefs, Raiders, Eagles, Vikings, Seahawks, and 49ers are all undefeated at 2-0 so far!

Baseball was EVERYWHERE on Thursday — 12 games across both leagues! The biggest story might be L. Spence going absolutely nuclear for the Astros, cranking 3 home runs and driving in 5 runs all by himself in Houston's 7–5 win over the Athletics. The Diamondbacks also had a wild one in Colorado, winning 12–8 with C. Carrigg going 4-for-5 with a homer and 3 RBI. And the Padres stunned the mighty Dodgers in LA, 4–2 — a huge result with the division title on the line! Meanwhile, Paul Skenes was brilliant for Pittsburgh (6.1 IP, only 1 ER, 8 strikeouts) in a tight 2–1 win over the Cardinals.
