What happened: Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. finished at 79.6 in ESPN QBR to rank fourth league-wide. The finish backed up his 84.9 mark in Week 3, also good for fourth.

Why it matters: Consecutive top-four finishes show sustained efficiency rather than a one-week spike. That steadiness gives Atlanta a settled starter profile entering the middle stretch of the 2026 schedule.

By the numbers: ESPN QBR last two weeks: 84.9 (4th) then 79.6 (4th).

What to watch: Watch whether Penix can extend the run to three straight top-four finishes.
