ESPN stat shows how well Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. played vs. Packers in Week 3
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. had a standout performance in Thursday's 35-14 victory over the Green Bay Packers, earning praise for his strong play. Despite facing his third career ACL tear, Penix overcame early setbacks and continued to improve as the game progressed. Completing 18 of his 25 pass attempts for 256 yards, one touchdown, and an 84.9 QBR according to ESPN's metrics - the fourth-highest in the NFL for Week 3.
This impressive showing marked a stark contrast to the Falcons' early-season struggles, as Cooper Rush had a dismal 3.0 QBR in Week 1 and 6.2 in Week 2. The team heads into their next prime-time matchup against the New Orleans Saints on Monday Night Football, with Penix aiming to maintain their momentum.
