Michael Penix Jr. returned from left ACL surgery to lead the Atlanta Falcons to a 35-14 victory over the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field. In his first game since Week 11 last November, Penix completed 18 of 25 passes for 256 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. After an early interception, he settled into a rhythm, going 13-of-15 in the second and third quarters with a touchdown pass to Austin Hooper.

Wide receiver Drake London caught nine passes for a career-high 194 yards, while running back Bijan Robinson rushed for 194 yards and two touchdowns. Safety Jessie Bates III noted Penix was emotional before the preseason finale, crying in the locker room due to his readiness. Coach Kevin Stefanski praised Penix's rehabilitation efforts, highlighting the extra workouts and treatments behind the scenes.

The Falcons, who struggled in the first two weeks with quarterback injuries, finally broke their offensive slump with Penix back under center.
