Michael Penix Jr. made the first start of his NFL career on Sunday in an Atlanta Falcons win over the New York Giants, 34-7. Penix didn't have to do much thanks to two pick-sixes from the Falcons' defense and two rushing touchdowns from Bijan Robinson.
Still, Penix completed a respectable 18-of-27 pass attempts for 202 yards and only turned the ball over once, which was a big improvement over what Atlanta had been getting from Kirk Cousins who had thrown seven of his 16 interceptions this season in the last three weeks.
