The Michael Penix Jr. era in Atlanta began with a win as the Falcons blew out the New York Giants, 34-7, on Sunday. The rookie was decisive and poised in his first NFL start, completing 67 percent of his passes for 202 yards.
“I worked all my life to get to this point,” Penix said after the game. “I’m super blessed and super thankful.”
Falcons head coach Raheem Morris was rightfully impressed with his young quarterback following Sunday’s win, praising Penix during his postgame press conference.
“He went out and played almost flawless football and kept everything clean for us,” said Morris. “The kid was ready. We had a lot of time to develop him. The kid did a great job himself at developing and getting ready for that moment where it wasn’t too big, and I was really proud and pleased with the effort.
