Atlanta Falcons rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr. defended the play of quarterback Kirk Cousins and the Atlanta offense as a whole following the Falcons' Week 1 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaking to Josh Kendall of The Athletic, Penix said Cousins was "calm and collected through the whole game."
Penix also felt the offense wasn't as bad as the box score may have suggested it was, saying:
"We had a lot of things in our game plan that we wish we could have executed a little better, but it's never as good as you think, never as bad as you think once you go back and look at it.
