The Packers have drawn criticism for 26 penalties, a league-high total, as injuries and a weak run game fuel calls for change.
- On Thursday, September 24, 2026, the Atlanta Falcons defeated the Green Bay Packers 35-14 at Lambeau Field, dropping the Packers to 1-2 and marking head coach Matt LaFleur's first losing start to a season.
- Struggling offensively, the Packers managed just 17 rushing yards against Atlanta while accumulating 26 penalties for 231 yards over three weeks, compounding discipline issues that plagued the season opener.
- Packers tight end Tucker Kraft expressed frustration after fans booed the team, stating, "It'd probably be much easier with the 70,000 people behind us rather than opposing us."
- Criticism of LaFleur's play-calling intensified following the defeat, with the head coach calling the loss "humbling" and acknowledging the team must improve across all phases of play.
- Green Bay travels to Tampa Bay on October 4 to face the Buccaneers, with pressure mounting on LaFleur to resolve offensive inconsistencies before the schedule intensifies in coming weeks.
