What happened: Michael Penix Jr. took off with his legs in Atlanta's game against Cincinnati. Atlanta had already opened a 7-0 lead on his 1-yard touchdown pass to Charlie Woerner with 11:12 left in the first quarter.

Why it matters: Penix's mobility adds a rushing threat to an offense built around his arm. He is back on the field after his return from an injury absence in September.

By the numbers: Penix has completed 104 of 168 passes for 1,282 yards with 9 touchdowns and 5 interceptions in 2026 through 6 games.

What to watch: The game continues on NFL Network, with Atlanta leading early.
