It has been a busy few days for Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr.
The rookie made his first career NFL regular-season start on Sunday, beating the New York Giants 34-7 at home. On Saturday, he posted some news on Instagram: He and his girlfriend, Olivia Carter, are engaged.
"I will love you forever," Penix, 24, wrote in the post. "I can't wait to do life with you."

The proposal appeared to have taken place in Penix's suburban Georgia backyard during Christmas week with candles, roses and a fire.
