In Week 1 of the 2023 NFL season, the Falcons and Packers each ushered in a new era of their respective franchises with impressive wins. In Week 2, they'll go head to head.

For Green Bay, the Jordan Love era is officially here, and it started in an encouraging fashion. The 24-year-old QB impressed in the second start of his NFL career — and his first since the offseason departure of Aaron Rodgers. Love completed 15 of his 27 passing attempts for 245 yards and three touchdowns in a 38-20 win over a divisional rival in the Bears.

With Chicago in its rearview, Green Bay now braces itself for what should be a tougher test in Atlanta.

Like Love, Falcons QB Desmond Ridder is 24 years old and enjoyed his first-ever Week 1 start in 2023. Ridder's numbers (15-18, 115 yards, 1 TD) in Atlanta's Week 1 win over Carolina might not jump off the page, but he did play mistake-free football to lead his team to victory. With Drake London and Kyle Pitts, Ridder has a few options as go-to receiving targets, while Tyler Allgeier and 2023 No. 8 pick Bijan Robinson are both serious threats in the backfield.

Atlanta's offense has the potential to be explosive, but its offseason investments in the defense are already paying off. In the opener, safety Jessie Bates III intercepted two passes and forced a fumble. The Wake Forest product, who joined the Falcons as a free agent after spending the first five seasons of his career with the Bengals, was named NFC Defensive Player of the Week for his efforts against the Panthers.

While Love and the Packers will look to keep things rolling, Atlanta's stingy defense will look to build off of what it accomplished in Week 1. Here is everything you need to know to tune into the Week 2 clash between Green Bay and Atlanta.
