Penix's 40 PPG average leads NFL; Ravens will test his downfield accuracy.

Penix has led the Falcons to 40 points per game (1st in NFL) after an 0-2 start under Cooper Rush (8 PPG, 32nd). Against the Ravens, this could be a bigger test as Baltimore will likely opt to 'make Penix beat us.' Working out of play-action and finding the right times to attack downfield will be critical to keep the defense honest; the more Baltimore sells out to stop the run, the more downfield opportunities will present themselves for Penix.
