Bijan Robinson celebrates after scoring a touchdown

Bijan Robinson ran for two touchdowns as the Atlanta Falcons claimed their first win of the season with a 35-14 victory over the Green Bay Packers.

Green Bay opened the scoring halfway through the first quarter when quarterback Jordan Love found Christian Watson in the end zone from close range.

The Falcons hit back through Robinson's first a few minutes later, with a Nick Folk field goal giving Atlanta the lead in the second quarter.

Michael Penix Jr gave the Falcons a 10-point advantage just before the half with a five-yard touchdown pass to Austin Hooper.

Green Bay were unable to stem the bleeding in the second half, a Brian Robinson Jr touchdown and another field goal putting the Falcons ahead 27-7.

The Packers were finally able to claw one back through a touchdown to Matthew Golden halfway through the fourth, but Robinson’s second scoring run towards the end of the quarter sealed Green Bay’s fate.
