The Atlanta Falcons didn’t just beat the Green Bay Packers on Thursday night. They added another line to the NFL record book.
Bijan Robinson and Drake London became the first running back and wide receiver duo in league history to post three games together in which Robinson ran for at least 150 yards and London topped 150 receiving yards. That milestone came in Atlanta’s 35-14 win at Lambeau Field, where both stars delivered one of the biggest offensive nights the Falcons have had this season.
Robinson carried 29 times for 194 yards and two touchdowns, finishing at 6.7 yards per rush. London matched that number almost exactly in a different way, hauling in nine catches for 194 yards on 10 targets. Together, they piled up 388 yards and powered an Atlanta offense that rolled to 498 total yards.
Michael Penix Jr. was back in the starting lineup, and the Falcons looked like a different attack with him under center. He completed 18 of 25 passes for 256 yards and a touchdown, helping give Atlanta a boost after the offense stumbled through its first two games of the season.
The Robinson-London connection didn’t start Thursday. The pair already had two previous games together that cleared the same rare benchmark.
One came during the 2025 season, when Robinson ran for 195 yards against the Los Angeles Rams while London also went over 150 receiving yards. The other happened before Thursday night, giving the Falcons three such games from the same duo.
That kind of production is turning into a calling card for Atlanta.
Robinson has been one of the league’s most dangerous backs since entering the NFL in 2023. He has gone over 1,400 rushing yards in each of the past two seasons and entered 2026 with more than 4,000 career rushing yards.
London has grown into the Falcons’ top pass catcher. He went past 1,200 receiving yards in 2024 and has kept delivering the kind of explosive plays Atlanta needs on the outside.
Against Green Bay, both players were in full control. Robinson kept breaking off chunk runs, and London kept finding space downfield. Put it together, and the Falcons had one of their most impressive offensive outings of the year.

A.J. Terrell Injury Triggered A Falcons Move With Unexpected Fallout
A.J. Terrells groin injury forced the Falcons to make a quick roster adjustment, and the ripple effect reached well beyond Atlanta. With Terrell moved to injured reserve, the Falcons added cornerback Robert Longerbeam from the Eagles practice squad, a straightforward solution for a team trying to keep the secondary stocked while one of its top defenders recovers.
Kenny Moore II ended up being the unexpected beneficiary on the other side of the transaction, landing with Philadelphia on a one-year practice squad deal after Longerbeams departure opened a spot. For Atlanta, the move is about surviving the short term without Terrell, but it also shows how one injury can set off a chain of personnel decisions that affects more than one team and may still shape the Eagles cornerback depth from here.

Falcons Road Trip Took An Unusual Turn After Lambeau Game
The Falcons trip to Lambeau Field ended up carrying a strange off-field wrinkle after Green Bays Week 3 win, when Ronika Stone said her camera and a luxury handbag went missing following the game. Stone, the wife of Packers quarterback Jordan Love, said the items had been left in a clear bag that was later found by security, but the two valuables were gone.
Stone has since asked the public to keep an eye out for her Sony camera and said she is hoping the belongings make their way back to her. It is the kind of postgame story nobody in Atlanta expected to follow a road trip, but it has quickly become one more odd note from a weekend that already ended with the Falcons leaving Wisconsin without a win.

Falcons Fans Should Start Watching This QB Search Now
The Falcons have already spent plenty of time chasing a long-term answer at quarterback, and the next wave of possibilities is starting to take shape on the college schedule. The 2027 NFL Draft class is being discussed as a deep one at the position, which means Atlanta fans have reason to keep an eye on more than just the usual Sunday headlines. This is the kind of evaluation season where future franchise decisions begin in September, not in April.
Arch Mannings Texas-Tennessee matchup is one of the first stops, while Dante Moore against Jayden Maiava in Oregon-USC gives scouts another chance to compare top arms in a high-profile setting. Trinidad Chambliss and Ole Miss facing Florida adds another name to the mix, and for a team still hunting for stability under center, these games matter because they help shape how the quarterback board looks long before the draft board is final.
