"The Atlanta Falcons are hoping for a miraculous finish to their 2025 season, already at 3-6 and with no margin for error. Those hopes may have gone up in flames in Week 11 against the Panthers, as quarterback Michael Penix Jr. was hurt on a third down play and is questionable to return. Backup quarterback Kirk Cousins entered the game just before the start of the fourth quarter."
"Penix was having one of his best games of the season, including an outstanding first half. The Falcons scored 21 points before halftime and took at a 21-10 lead into the third quarter, but have slowly bled points to the Panthers in the second half. It's a been a characteristic Falcons game, with plenty of good plays bookended by embarrassing special teams turnovers and continued sloppiness on offense. Penix was ultimately injured by an unblocked rusher on a blitz."
