Atlanta Falcons’ sluggish starts could turn around with one simple fix: get Michael Penix into an early rhythm. The offense generated over 500 total yards against the New Orleans Saints when Penix found his groove, raising questions about how Tommy Reese can replicate that formula—especially with tougher coverage and pressure from teams like the 49ers and Bears on the horizon.
Bijan Robinson’s explosive runs and the underutilized talents of Zachariah Branch, Drake London, and Olamide Zaccheaus highlight the need for a more dynamic and diverse offensive attack. Can Penix expand his options beyond London, and will Branch find his role as a confident NFL rookie? Discover the adjustments Atlanta needs to make in protection schemes, quick reads, and unlocking playmaker potential to get back on track and keep the offense humming against elite defenses.
