Yahoo Sports NFL on Michael Penix Jr.
From the article
Penix Jr. was completely discombobulated in the pocket, making numerous costly errors and misses. His inability to see Alex Anzalone on his first two interceptions was perplexing... Three of the four interceptions were squarely on the enigmatic quarterback.
STACKED’s take
Penix Jr. had worst game of career with four INTs; three were his fault due to poor reads.
Penix Jr. had the worst game of his career in Tampa Bay's rainstorm, throwing four interceptions and displaying complete discombobulation in the pocket. Three of the four interceptions were squarely on him: he failed to see linebacker Alex Anzalone on his first two picks despite receiving solid pass protection, and on his final interception he used a pump fake assuming cornerback Zyon McCollum would bite on a fake smoke screen when McCollum didn't budge. Beyond the turnovers, he had ugly incompletions in the intermediate middle area of the field, including sailing a pass well over Kyle Pitts' head on a third-and-two play action where Pitts was open downfield for a likely touchdown. The source emphasizes that while bad weather limits quarterback performance, franchise quarterbacks must prove they can overcome adversity and operate functionally in difficult circumstances—Penix Jr. failed to do that in a big divisional game.
