If at first you don’t succeed, try again.
When Michael Penix found Drake London in the back of the end zone against backup Carolina Panthers cornerback Shemar Bartholomew, he didn’t hesitate to launch it to the back of the endzone. Then, when it didn’t work because his right foot couldn’t find the turf on the first attempt, Penix didn’t hesitate to go after the exact same matchup.
This time, there was no doubt.
14 unanswered points in the final 1:41 gave the Atlanta Falcons a 24-17 lead as they headed into halftime, but almost just as important, it gave Penix a 12-of-24 stat line with 204 yards and two touchdowns with zero turnovers.
