"Rookie cornerback Will Johnson is a certified stud. The interior defensive line held the Saints' running backs to 78 rushing yards. Spencer Rattler needed to complete 27 passes to break the 210-yard threshold. More importantly, the defense held New Orleans out of the end zone four straight times to win the game. With their backs against the wall, Arizona's defenders prevailed."
"It's not Michael Penix Jr.'s fault that the Falcons lost that game. He did everything he could to put Atlanta in a position to win. The second-year QB orchestrated a 91-yard drive that ended with a go-ahead touchdown. And if that wasn't enough, he moved the ball 60 yards in eight plays, which allowed the Falcons to attempt a game-tying field goal. Penix has ice in his veins and looks like the quarterback of the future in Atlanta."
"The loss to Buffalo was obviously devastating, but it was the first game of the season in an incredibly difficult road environment. Lamar Jackson is still one of the three best quarterbacks in the NFL, while Derrick Henry proved he hasn't lost a step. If Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman didn't make a ridiculous catch off a fluke tipped pass, we would be having a different conversation about the Ravens today."
Arizona's defense showed clear improvement, with rookie cornerback Will Johnson standing out and the interior defensive line holding New Orleans to 78 rushing yards while preventing end-zone scores on four straight drives. Atlanta's second-year quarterback Michael Penix Jr. delivered composed, clutch drives, orchestrating a 91-yard touchdown drive and converting a separate 60-yard, eight-play drive to set up a game-tying opportunity, projecting as the franchise signal-caller. Baltimore remains a legitimate Super Bowl contender despite a road loss to Buffalo, with Lamar Jackson still among the league's elite quarterbacks and Derrick Henry demonstrating continued effectiveness, as a fluke tipped catch altered the game's outcome.
