Falcons’ upcoming schedule will provide Michael Penix Jr. his toughest test yet

Garrett Klaus of Blogging Dirty argues that an upcoming four-game stretch against tough opponents will define Michael Penix Jr. and the Atlanta Falcons' season. After starting 0-2 with only 16 combined points against the Pittsburgh Steelers and Carolina Panthers, the Falcons revitalized their offense under Penix with high-scoring victories over the Green Bay Packers and New Orleans Saints.

The upcoming schedule features challenging matchups against the Baltimore Ravens, Chicago Bears, and San Francisco 49ers, followed by an NFC South divisional meeting with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Klaus writes that performing well through this difficult sequence before Atlanta's Week 11 bye will show whether the Falcons' recent offensive turnaround is sustainable.
