The Michael Penix Jr. era starts 1-0! The offense looked rejuvenated, and the defense keeps their sack streak going. The Atlanta Falcons may have found their guy.
Here are the Week 16 Snap Reactions.
Going to Penix was the right call
It was a showcase of arm talent, physical ability, and veteran tricks from the rookie quarterback. On the game’s first play, Zac Robinson called a play-action rollout concept, and it wouldn’t be the last, seemingly answering whether he or Kirk was preventing the play from being called. It’s clear that the quarterback forced a more limited offense to be run, and we got a taste of what the Falcons could look like at full power.
