Robinson rushed for 124 yards on 19 carries and had 4 catches for 48 yards, proving why Atalanta picked him 8^th overall at the 2023 NFL Draft, even though most organizations didn’t select running backs that high lately.

Green Bay had a 24-12 lead after 3 touchdown passes from Jordan Love as he needs to fill the shoes of Aaron Rodgers, who joined the NY Jets but suffered an awful injury in the season opener.
