Michael Penix Jr. named Falcons Week 3 starter

Michael Penix Jr. to make season debut in Falcons Week 3 matchup vs Packers

“Michael is playing Thursday. Does this make me feel better? Yeah, because after what I just saw, it can not be any worse than that,” 92-9 The Game’s Carl Dukes said as he and cohost, Mike Bell, reacted to the Atlanta Falcons announcing Michael Penix Jr. their starting quarterback for their Week 3 matchup with the Green Bay Packers.

“For what little hope we had, not knowing what this was going to look like Thursday. Whether Tua [Tagovailoa] might be ready, there was no way they were going to run Cooper Rush back out there, this does make me feel better. It doesn’t take the taste out of my mouth from yesterday,” Dukes continued as he explained the Penix Jr. announcement does ease his concerns some however he wants to see Penix Jr. perform well.
