## Packers in trouble
Green Bay Packers (1-2) suffered a 35-14 loss to Atlanta Falcons (1-2) after trailing by double-digit points in each of first three games since 2014.
## Offensive line struggles
Packers' offensive line has been overwhelmed with injuries and young players unable to start, leading to poor rushing and passing efficiency.
## Rushing offense weak
Green Bay has the fewest rushing yards in NFL (146) and is outrushed 242 yards to 17 in Week 3, the third-worst margin since 1980.
## Passing offense struggling
Jordan Love has 52.4% completion percentage, the second-worst in league, with 28% off-target rate when pressured, leading to NFL-low 27.8% third-down conversion.
## Injuries on offensive line
Right tackle Zach Bako-Bewele suffered patellar tendon tear, left guard Aaron Banks has been injured, and young linemen cannot start at their positions.
## Signings of veterans
General manager Brian Gutekunst signed Pro Bowl left guard Laken Tomlinson, offensive lineman Mekhi Becton, and Pro Bowl right guard Kevin Zeitler.
## Expected improvements
The new line should improve Jordan Love's passing game and running game for MarShawn Lloyd and Kaleb Johnson.
## Key takeaway

Green Bay signed Pro Bowl veterans Laken Tomlinson, Mekhi Becton, and Kevin Zeitler to improve their offensive line after poor performance in first three games.
