Falcons' Michael Penix: Held in check through air by Bengals
Penix completed 20 of 31 passes for 162 yards and a touchdown with an interception in Sunday's 34-17 loss to Cincinnati. He added 50 rushing yards on three carries.
It looked like it would be a big day for the Falcons offense when Penix led his team to points on its first two drives. including a one-yard TD to Charlie Woerner, but Atlanta managed just seven more points over the final three quarters. The touchdown pass was Penix's 10th of the season, setting a new career high, but he's also been picked off five times in the last two games after throwing only one INT in his first five contests of 2026. He'll face a tough test in Week 10 against Kansas City.

Falcons' Michael Penix: Nightmare afternoon in rainy conditions
Penix completed eight of 24 passes for 125 yards with no touchdowns and four interceptions while rushing five times for 11 yards in the Falcons' 16-0 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday. He also fumbled once but recovered.
Penix endured a career-worst all-around game in rainy conditions after coming into the afternoon with just one interception in his first five games. Only two of Penix's four picks led to Buccaneers points -- and just a pair of field goals at that -- but the Falcons defense was helpless against Tampa Bay's ground attack in the shutout. Sunday's conditions were a clear outlier, so Penix should be expected to bounce back across the pond in a Week 9 matchup against a vulnerable Bengals secondary next Sunday in Madrid.

Falcons' Michael Penix: Three TDs in Week 7 win
Penix completed 25 of 34 passes for 213 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions and added five carries for minus-1 yard in the Falcons' 29-20 win over the 49ers on Sunday. He also recovered a fumble.
Penix put together a solid, mistake-free effort that saw him toss a trio of touchdown passes for the second straight games. The 2024 first-round pick connected with Nick Muse (one yard), Kyle Pitts (five yards) and Drake London (21 yards) for his trio of scoring strikes, the latter two coming in the second half. Penix also completed over 71.0 percent of his passes for the third time in five games this season, and he'll take a pristine 9:1 TD:INT and 1,157 passing yards into a Week 8 road matchup against the Buccaneers next Sunday.
