Michael Penix Jr. Makes Promise After Nightmare Game vs. Buccaneers
Atlanta Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. threw four interceptions in the 16-0 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Michael Penix Jr. remained composed after a dreadful outing against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, despite throwing four interceptions and contributing to an 16-0 defeat. The quarterback acknowledged his mistakes, stating, "I ain't never throwin four picks in a game, it's all good, man. I'm gonna shake back. I promise you I will." He did not lay blame on the weather conditions, which affected both teams' offensive efficiency, but emphasized the need to protect the ball as a quarterback and leader.
Penix completed just 8-of-24 passes for 125 yards in the game, where Tampa Bay's Baker Mayfield did not need to complete a single pass, marking the first time since 1974 a team won without completing any passes. Penix finished with a 8-for-24 day, underscoring his need to improve and protect the football in upcoming games.
