"Penix looked healthy and boosted the offense today. It wasn't perfect; he'll want that intentional grounding play back, but the quarterback showed some nimbleness in the pocket today and made the passing game functional. Drake London appreciated that functionality and went off, putting up a hat trick and one of the best individual performances of his career. This duo looks like a legit pairing, but inconsistent offensive line play and coaching thwarted their efforts today and most of this season."
"Jalon Walker was a force of nature today. Yes, he gave up two receptions and a touchdown (showing why he shouldn't be moving backwards or playing ILB like some fans have begged), but the rookie nearly took over the game and helped keep his team in contention all afternoon. Walker had two sacks, two TFLs, and he continues to set the edge like a seasoned vet."
The Falcons lost a winnable contest as inconsistent offensive-line play and injuries undermined offensive success. Penix looked healthy, showed pocket nimbleness, and made the passing game functional despite an intentional grounding mistake. Drake London delivered a hat trick and one of the best individual performances of his career, forming a promising pairing with the quarterback. Jalon Walker recorded two sacks and two TFLs, set the edge, and nearly took over the game despite allowing two receptions and a touchdown. The line committed basic technique and mental errors, and injuries to Bergeron and Lindstrom further compromised protection and continuity.
