3 biggest takeaways from Michael Penix Jr.'s discouraging Week 10 vs. Colts

Michael Penix Jr. looked like he turned a corner in Week 9 against the Patriots, but as the Atlanta Falcons faltered in Week 10, he did as well. In the Dirty Birds' gut-wrenching overtime loss to the Colts in Berlin, the second-year quarterback somehow took a a massive step backwards despite last week's heroics.

Penix completed just 12-of-28 passes for 177 yards and a touchdown, but also lost a fumble in the first quarter. His connection with Drake London shined once again, and the return of the run game helped, but a weak performance against a subpar secondary left a lot to be desired in Week 10.
