Week 3 collapse delivers a sobering reality check to Michael Penix Jr.

Michael Penix Jr. didn’t just get shut out in Carolina, he got shut down. And the same could be said for his placement in NFL Spin Zone's Sayre Bedinger's Week 3 QB Power Rankings. The Falcons' signal-caller plummeted to No. 29 overall, sliding six spots from last week’s ranking.

That leaves him only ahead of backups Jake Browning and Tyrod Taylor, and 40-year-old Joe Flacco. Penix has had a rocky start to his sophomore season. In three games, he’s completing just 58.6% of his passes with one touchdown, two interceptions, and a 71.3 passer rating.
