Falcons' supposed biggest strength was embarrassingly exposed in Week 7
Atlanta Falcons v San Francisco 49ers | Brooke Sutton/GettyImagesAtlanta Falcons' QB Michael Penix Jr. is considered day-to-day with a bone bruise in his foot, and the terrible offensive line play in the Niners game is a big reason as to why he both struggled and went down.
When kept clean, Penix looked sharp going, 21 of 29 for 242 yards and a touchdown to Bijan Robinson. But when pressured, things were different…
From ESPN Research: The 49ers pressured Michael Penix on a season-high 34% of his dropbacks. Penix finished 1-of-10 for 9 yards while under duress, including two sacks. #Falcons
