FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr. said Monday that he'll be ready if the Atlanta Falcons coaching staff calls upon him, but he knows the decision is out of his hands. In fact, he believes Kirk Cousins will be able to stem the tide this season.
Cousins is in the middle of arguably the worst stretch of his 13-year NFL career and has six interceptions over the last three games without a touchdown pass. The Falcons have lost all three of those games and have turned a commanding NFC South lead into a statistical tie atop the division with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a team they swept earlier in the season.
