The New York Giants are preparing to face the Atlanta Falcons, who are starting rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr. after benching veteran Kirk Cousins. This shift could significantly alter the Falcons' offensive dynamics.
Penix has limited experience this season, but his college performance was impressive, showcasing his potential as both a passer and a runner. The Falcons' ground game, led by Bijan Robinson, will remain crucial, especially with the offensive line's struggles.
Atlanta's offense primarily operates out of 11 personnel, but the lack of play-action could hinder their effectiveness. With no game film of Penix as a starter, the Giants face a unique challenge in their game plan.
