Following the Atlanta Falcons' 30-0 shutout at the hands of the Carolina Panthers, fans began to question if Michael Penix Jr. was truly the Falcons' future under center. He threw two interceptions in Week 3 before being benched for Kirk Cousins, and it looked like Atlanta was in the midst of full-blown quarterback controversy.
However, even in the face of adversity, Raheem Morris never wavered in his faith in the second-year signal-caller. And in Week 4, Penix proved that faith was well-placed as he turned in the best performance of his young career, throwing for 313 yards and two touchdowns in a 34-27 victory over the Washington Commanders.
