## Resource

Michael Penix Jr. faces his biggest test yet as the Atlanta Falcons’ starting quarterback, ranked 27th among NFL starters but backed by a top-tier offense featuring Kyle Pitts, Bijan Robinson, and Drake London. With a new, offensive-minded coach in Kevin Stefanski and a chance to prove himself before hitting the open market, Penix’s health and performance are critical — especially after two injury-plagued seasons. Tua Tagovailoa, also on a one-year deal, is in a similar high-stakes race to reclaim his form. This season is Penix’s make-or-break moment: deliver, or the Falcons will look elsewhere next offseason.
