The Packers offense once again sputtered out, as the Atlanta Falcons dismantled Green Bay by a score of 35-14 at Lambeau Field on Sept. 24.

The loss for the Packers gives Green Bay its first home opener loss in the last 11 seasons. This loss also marks the first time the Packers have started a season 1-2 since 2014.

Eight months removed from blowing a first-half lead to the Chicago Bears in the playoffs, the Green Bay Packers squandered a 12-point lead in their Week 1 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, 39-22.

The Green Bay Packers are running it back. After collapsing in the Wild Card round a season ago against the Chicago Bears, team President Ed Policy decided to extend the contracts of head coach Matt LaFleur and general manager Brian Gutekunst.

Now, the pressure is on to win and prove Policy right.

The NFL season is upon us, which leads us to look around NFL rosters and wonder who is new to the team and how they’ll help their teams reach the next step.

In Green Bay, most of those new players for the 2026 season are rookies with an added twist.

When the Packers’ season ended, they were missing who were arguably three of their four best players.

The Green Bay Packers kick off the 2026 season with an away at Minnesota on Sept. 13.

Packers’ offense vs. Vikings’ defense

Green Bay’s offense is going with a less-is-more approach this season in the passing game.

Jordan Love is going to be the quarterback, and he is fully established as the face of the franchise at this point of his career.
