In its last two straight losses, Atlanta has combined for just 20 points, falling quickly after wins against the Washington Commanders (34-27) and Buffalo Bills (24-14).
As mercurial a team as there is in the NFL, the Falcons will look to fly straight with Penix after a two-game skid.
Through six starts this season, Penix has thrown for 1,409 yards (119-for-195) and just five touchdowns with three interceptions.
Led by quarterback Bijan Robinson, Atlanta’s offense is 14i.e in meters, but only 28i.e in points.
Penix and the Falcons (3-4) open against the Patriots (6-2) at 1:00 PM ET on Sunday.
