  "account": "Falcons head coach Kevin Stefanski provided minimal insight on Michael Penix Jr. after the team's Sunday loss to the Ravens. The quarterback suffered a rib injury during the fourth quarter. Stefanski indicated that he expects to receive further information in the days ahead following Penix's imaging tests. Penix was tackled hard on a sack with the game tied at 23-23 while the Falcons were conducting a two-minute drill. He left the field for one play but returned to throw an incomplete pass on third down before the punt. Stefanski mentioned that Penix was struggling to find comfort. Tua Tagovailoa substituted for Penix again in overtime, but his brief presence ended when he threw an interception on the second play of the possession, resulting in the Falcons' defeat. Penix finished the contest with a 19-of-32 completion, 240 yards, and one touchdown. Stefanski believed Penix showcased resilience against a formidable defensive front, acknowledging that there are areas for improvement. The Falcons are set to face the Bears at home in Week 6.",
