What happened: Michael Penix Jr. addressed the Atlanta Falcons' ongoing penalty issues, noting the offense committed zero penalties during weekly practice sessions. The quarterback acknowledged the frustration with the disconnect between clean preparation and game execution, stressing the necessity to clean up the unforced errors.
Why it matters: Unforced errors have stalled drives and hampered an offense searching for identity during a challenging 3-6 campaign for the Falcons. Repeated pre-snap and operational flags have consistently placed the unit behind schedule on early downs.
What to watch: Atlanta returns to action Sunday against Kansas City with kickoff scheduled for 1 p.m. ET.
