Michael Penix Jr. left a lot to be desired in Berlin as the Atlanta Falcons lost their fourth straight game, but finally turned the tables in Week 11. In Atlanta's 30-27 overtime loss to the Carolina Panthers, Penix started the game off by completing 13 of his first 14 passes, but then disaster struck.

A few plays later, the 25-year-old suffered a knee injury after taking a brutal hit that caused him to exit and not return. Once he exited the game, the offense's momentum completely dissipated, squandering a 21-16 lead that saw the Dirty Birds fall 30-27 marking their fifth consecutive loss.
