The key factor is the health of Atlanta's starting quarterback, who suffered a rib injury late in the fourth quarter and did not return for overtime.

Monitoring Penix's health throughout the week is warranted, as the next man up is Tua Tagovailoa, who happened to throw the game-ending interception on Sunday night.
