You're locked in to Sports Desk, let's get after it.
Thursday Night Football at Lambeau Field, and Atlanta is making a statement. The Falcons lead the Packers seventeen to seven at the half, a game that started with Green Bay drawing first blood when Christian Watson hauled in his fourth touchdown of the season to put the Pack up seven nothing early.
But Bijan Robinson answered right back, punching one in to tie things at seven apiece, and from there Atlanta took control and never looked back heading into the locker room. Jordan Love and that Green Bay offense have some serious work to do in the second half.
Speaking of Love, the man showed up to Lambeau in style. The Packers quarterback arrived for tonight's home opener wearing a custom blue lambskin jacket embedded with more than five hundred KAY diamonds, valued at two hundred thousand dollars. That is a tunnel walk with some weight behind it, and now he needs to make sure his performance matches the price tag.
Meanwhile in Minnesota, some good news for the Vikings as running back Aaron Jones returned to limited practice Thursday after missing Wednesday with a knee injury. With Week three approaching, that is an encouraging sign for a Vikings squad looking to build momentum heading into the weekend.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
