The Atlanta Falcons have turned to rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr. after a disappointing stretch from veteran Kirk Cousins. This shift could pose a new challenge for the Carolina Panthers, who will face Penix in their final game of the season.
Atlanta Falcons made a significant investment in their quarterback position this offseason, signing veteran Kirk Cousins and drafting Michael Penix Jr. while their defense and running back room were already strong. Despite initial success from Cousins, his recent performance has dipped, leading to Penix taking over as the starter. Penix, known for his strong arm and aggressive play style from his time at Washington, is expected to provide a different dynamic for the Falcons' offense.
The Carolina Panthers, who were defeated by Cousins-led Falcons earlier in the season, will likely face Penix in their final game of the year
