Penix and Robinson have career-best days as Falcons get back on track with big win over Commanders
Michael Penix proved worthy of that belief in Atlanta's 34-27 win over the short-handed Washington Commanders on Sunday.
The Atlanta Falcons laid a goose egg in Week 3, scoring zero points en route to a 30-point blowout loss to their division rivals, the Carolina Panthers. Following the loss, offensive coordinator Zac Robinson was moved down from the press box to the field.
They inked Kirk Cousins to a massive four-year, $180 million contract last offseason, seemingly to lead the franchise, but then Atlanta made the stunning decision to draft quarterback Michael Penix Jr. with the No. 8 overall pick just a month later.

Falcons place too much pressure on Penix by failing to rely on Robinson in runaway loss at Carolina
Quarterback Michael Penix Jr., the 2024 first-round pick in his first full season as Atlanta's starter, didn't deserve full blame for the Falcons' 30-0 loss at Carolina.
The Atlanta Falcons' offense gets a bounce-back win over the Washington Commanders in Week 4, as they score a season-high 34 points.
Cousins started the Falcons’ first 14 games last season after signing a four-year, $180 million contract. However, Morris benched Cousins following a mid-December victory and handed the reins to Penix, the No. 8 pick only months earlier.
