Green Bay Packers vs Atlanta Falcons Live Stream: Watch NFL Monday Night Football 2017 Online
The Green Bay Packers and the Atlanta Falcons will clash on NFL Sunday Night Football for Week 2 in the NFL 2017 regular season. Both teams claimed wins in their opening games last week, and both no doubt will be hoping to push on and claim a second straight win here today. However, only one team can come away with the win, and establish themselves as an immediate frontrunner for the postseason spots after just two weeks of the season.
The game has a scheduled start time of 8.30 p.m. ET, and takes place from Atlanta Falcons' Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The game can be watched on TV on the NBC network, or online through live stream (details below).
The Packers opened their season last week at home to the Seattle Seahawks. Green Bay claimed an impressive win against one of the top teams in the NFL and that victory will immediately raise expectations for this season for the Lambeau Field faithful.

There was not much between the Seahawks and Packers through the game, and it was a tight and low-scoring affair. But it was Green Bay who were able to let loose in the third quarter, scoring two touchdowns to set up their 17-9 victory.
Although the win wasn't devastating and may not send shockwaves through the NFL, the victory will have been enough to make people stand up and take note of the Packers for this season.
The Falcons meanwhile claimed a road win last week against the Chicago Bears. Again, this wasn't exactly a win that will make opposition teams shudder, but a win is a win, especially on the opening game of the season, and at 1-0 the Falcons will be hoping to build on that victory and turn some more heads by taking down a strong Green Bay Packers team here today.
Earlier this week, the Houston Texans went on the road to Ohio to play the Cincinnati Bengals on NFL Thursday Night Football. The Texans prevailed 13-9 in a low-scoring and close encounter.
Both teams had lost in Week 1 and so both were intent on avoiding falling to 0-2, however, it is the Bengals that find themselves the first team of the new season to drop to 0-2. The Texans meanwhile move to 1-1 and will look to push on from here.
In Week 1 the Bengals were trashed 20-0 by the Baltimore Ravens, and Andy Dalton was only able to average 5.5 yards per pass through the game, accumulating an horrendous 28.4 passer rating.
The Texans meanwhile suffered an embarrassing loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, in what was a disastrous opening showing for the team. They gave up 10 sacks as well as 29 points, and were forced to bench Tom Savage for rookie Deshaun Watson midway through the game.
Watson struggled through his first ever start in the NFL, however, he did produce the only moment that really mattered in the game as he ran for a 49 yard touchdown after breaking free from the Bengals defense.
That proved to be the difference between the teams and was enough to get the Texans season kick-started with their first victory.
But on the evidence of Thursday's match up, both the Bengals and Texans look like they can have reasonable defenses, however, both will have to do something drastic about their offenses, as both looked far from NFL-level performances. If things do not improve quickly for both teams in that area then it could end up being a long season.
Today's NFL Monday Night Football game between the Green Bay Packers and the Atlanta Falcons has a scheduled start time of 8.30 p.m. ET and can be watched on TV on the NBC network, or online through live stream on NBC.com.
