Falcons’ Michael Penix Jr. suffers rib injury late and Tua Tagovailoa finishes OT loss to Ravens

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. sustained a rib injury when he was tackled by Baltimore Ravens linebacker Tavius Robinson late in the fourth quarter of the team's 30-23 overtime defeat on Sunday night. Penix remained on the ground and received medical attention from trainers. He was substituted for one play by Tua Tagovailoa, but returned to the field for an additional play, throwing an incomplete pass on third down.

The Falcons subsequently punted on the final play of the regulation game. During Baltimore's overtime possession, Penix was on the sidelines consulting with trainers and later sat out with a towel covering his head. After Tyler Huntley scored a touchdown for the Ravens, Tagovailoa entered the game for Atlanta's overtime attempt. He threw one pass in his debut and was picked off by Kyle Hamilton, resulting in the loss.
