Michael Penix faced the least pressure of any quarterback in Week 7. Penix didn't. Instead, he willingly took the underneath throws. Penix had one completion over 10 yards. One. Everything felt easy, because he genuinely took what the defense gave him.

Penix faced minimal pressure and took underneath throws; only one completion over 10 yards.

Penix faced the least pressure of any quarterback in Week 7 and exploited the 49ers' defensive scheme by willingly taking underneath throws rather than forcing downfield; he completed only one pass over 10 yards, taking what the defense gave him and making the game feel easy, while Raheem Morris was reluctant to adapt and get more aggressive until the final two drives, allowing Atlanta five red-zone possessions.
