Key Points:
- The Atlanta Falcons' offense has dramatically improved, scoring 80 combined points in Weeks 3 and 4 after totaling just 16 points in the first two games, the fewest in the NFL.
- Quarterback Michael Penix Jr., returning from ACL surgery, has been a key factor in the turnaround, delivering efficient performances with a completion rate over 70% and no interceptions in recent games.
- The Falcons made NFL history by winning back-to-back primetime road games by 20 or more points, defeating the Green Bay Packers 35-14 and the New Orleans Saints 45-24.
- Penix's return has revitalized the Falcons' running game, which has exceeded 200 yards on the ground in each of the last two weeks, including five rushing touchdowns against the Saints.
- Atlanta, now 2-2, will face the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday Night Football, building momentum after overcoming a slow start to the season.
