What happened: Atlanta's Penix holds an 83.0 ESPN QBR through two games. The total trails Purdy, Williams and Prescott and sits just above Jackson.

Why it matters: Early placement alongside Purdy puts Atlanta's passing efficiency among league leaders. Holding that range would stabilize the Falcons offense as the sample grows.

By the numbers: 83.0 ESPN QBR through two games; would-be fourth behind Purdy, Williams, Prescott; just ahead of Jackson.

What to watch: Additional attempts will make Penix leaderboard-eligible in coming weeks. Upcoming starts test whether the mark holds.
