After a disastrous performance from Atlanta Falcons starting quarterback Kirk Cousins, rookie backup Michael Penix Jr. has confidence the veteran will respond well.
"He's a vet," Penix said of Cousins, per ESPN's Marc Raimondi. "He's been in a lot of different situations, so I have no doubt that he's going to bounce back from this and he's going to be great this weekend and for the rest of the season."
Penix also made it known that he'll be ready to step up if head coach Raheem Morris calls his number.
"I have to be, because you never know when the opportunity [comes]," Penix said.
