The Atlanta Falcons just switched to Michael Penix as their starting quarterback, placed Younghoe Koo on injured reserve, and are clearly targeting those shakeups helping to push them into the postseason. That begins with a game against the New York Giants.
The Giants are one of a small handful of teams set to vie for the first overall pick in this draft, and that’s both because they’re lousy and dealing with injuries. They cut Daniel Jones, their quarterback situation is terrible, and stars like Dexter Lawrence and Azeez Ojulari are on the shelf. They’re playing out the string, hoping to get a better quarterback and build the roster back up, and be relevant again in a tough NFC East.
