Michael Penix Jr. Commended By Falcons Fans in NFL Preseason Debut vs. Dolphins

Michael Penix Jr. wrapped up a solid preseason debut as the Atlanta Falcons faced off against the Miami Dolphins on Friday.

The former Washington quarterback started the contest and played until he was replaced by Taylor Heinicke in the second quarter. By the time he exited the game, the score was tied 10-10.

Penix finished with 104 yards and completed nine of his 16 pass attempts. He showed off his arm strength against Miami, as his longest throw of the day was a 41-yard completion to wide receiver Chris Blair.

It wasn't a perfect night for Penix, as he missed some intermediate throws.
