The Atlanta Falcons are still chasing their playoff hopes, and a win over the New York Giants is a must if they’re going to do that. But this is also a big game for another reason: It’s Michael Penix’s debut as the starting quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons.

Use this as your open thread for Week 16, and go Falcons!
