The Atlanta Falcons are now in the Michael Penix Jr era, as the team elected to make him the starter in Week 16. He certainly flashed in his three starts, including a 312 yard, two touchdown performance in Week 18 against the Carolina Panthers.

The Atlanta Falcons nearly ended the 2024 season with two 1,000-yard receivers. While Drake London finished well beyond the milestone, Darnell Mooney came up eight yards shy (992) after sitting out of the team’s finale.

Drake London didn't finish the Falcons game after suffering a hamstring injury, but there's hope that he can play next week.

The Falcons, who started the second half with a lead over the Panthers, tied the game back up in the fourth quarter with another Penix-to-London connection. Backed up deep on third down due to penalties, Penix zipped his second touchdown pass of the day to tie the game at 24.
