Just eight days after Drake Maye managed to out-duel reigning NFL MVP Josh Allen on primetime, Michael Penix Jr. is hoping to follow suit. The Atlanta Falcons will host the Buffalo Bills on Monday Night Football in a matchup where Penix will hope to replicate some of the magic generated by his fellow 2024 draftee in Orchard Park.
Despite shining in his last outing back in Week 4, Penix is aware going toe-to-toe with a multi-time Pro Bowler on national television won't be easy. But instead of feeling the pressure, the second-year quarterback remained poised—and even gave Allen props for all that he's accomplished over the last few seasons.
