After a deflating performance in Week 8 without Michael Penix Jr., the Atlanta Falcons' offense rebounded in a major way in Week 9. The Dirty Birds might have lost 24-23, but there was a lot to be excited about—especially for an offense that has struggled mightily to put points on the board.
Just when you thought the season was over, the Falcons showed signs of life, and that started with the man under center. In the loss, Penix completed 22 of 37 passes for 221 yards and three touchdowns, which marked his first three-touchdown game of the season.
