The Atlanta Falcons are in the middle of a somewhat weird PR crisis. Quarterback Michael Penix Jr. said some stuff that, according to head coach Raheem Morris, was blown out of proportion.
Penix was asked about where he goes for advice when he needs it. He responded saying he goes to his fiancĆ© and his quarterback coaches back home. This was taken as a jab to the Falconsā coaching staff.
For Raheem Morris, taking it like that is āa joke,ā and that it ālets you downā as to how people react to snippets of information. Hence, he clarified there is no issue taken. After all, the Falcons staff are with Penix every single day.
Penix developed big-time chemistry with Drake London already
Drake London was always a good receiver, but itās time to put him near the elite group of receivers in the NFL. In his last five games, heās overcome the 100-yard mark four times. Also, heās scored six touchdowns in that span.

As a whole, he has 691 yards, six touchdowns and when targeted, the quarterbackās passer rating is 106.5. Therefore, Penix and London are building quite some chemistry.

The Falcons offense has to start producing consistently
There are five first rounders in the Falconsā offense. Penix is one of them. Bijan Robinson, running back, too. Then you add London and tight end Kyle Pitts. Hence, the expectations for the offense are very high.
But, the Falcons offense is a very inconsistent unit. The team has scored 20 or more points six times this season. Conversely, the offense has scored 10 or less points three times. The Falcons need consistency.
