Penix excels when clean but cratered under pressure; Falcons allow fastest time to pressure.

Falcons QB has been outstanding when kept clean this season but has absolutely cratered when faced with pressure. Atlanta has been allowing the fastest time to pressure in the NFL by quite a wide margin, giving Penix little time to react. This pressure sensitivity will be critical against the 49ers' defense.
