The Falcoholic on Michael Penix Jr.
From the article
Michael Penix Jr. got off to a slow start...for most of the night he looked like the passer the Falcons invested so much in back in 2024.
STACKED’s take
Penix's 17/20, 250 yards, 1 TD after slow start shows comfort and accuracy; return from injury proved decisive.
After a slow start (1/5 with an interception), Penix settled in and went 17/20 for approximately 250 yards and a touchdown, showcasing impressive accuracy and getting the ball out incredibly quickly. The source notes he 'looked comfortable once he settled in doing just about anything asked of him' and took a couple of big hits along the way. The source acknowledges Penix was a slow starter at times before his injury and is still warming up, so rough stretches should be expected going forward, but 'for most of the night he looked like the passer the Falcons invested so much in back in 2024.' His return from a 10-month absence from game action proved decisive to the team's dominant performance.
