Penix Throws Four Interceptions in Falcons’ 16-0 Loss

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. threw four interceptions and completed just 8 of 24 passes for 125 yards in a rain-soaked 16-0 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a stark reversal after a strong performance the week before. Penix took responsibility, saying he needed to protect the ball and promising to bounce back. Tampa Bay relied largely on coverage rather than its usual heavy pressure, but its defense still intercepted Penix four times and kept Atlanta scoreless. The Buccaneers won despite quarterback Baker Mayfield completing no passes, a rare feat in NFL history.

No right coverage yet — a bubble gap.
Tampa pulling off a win with zero completions is wild, their defense must have capitalized hard on those turnovers.
Penix should have protected the ball better after last week's solid outing, four picks killed any chance in that weather.
