Falcons' Michael Penix Jr. suffers rib injury late and Tua Tagovailoa finishes
OT loss to Ravens
ATLANTA (AP) --- Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. suffered a rib injury
when he was sacked by Ravens linebacker Tavius Robinson late in the fourth
quarter of Atlanta's 30-23 overtime loss to Baltimore on Sunday night.
Penix stayed down and was attended to by athletic trainers. He was replaced for
one play by Tua Tagovailoa, but then reentered the game for one play, throwing
an incomplete pass on third down. The Falcons then punted on the final play of
regulation.
During the Ravens' possession in overtime, Penix was on the bench and talking
to trainers, and he later sat on the bench with a towel over his head.
After Tyler Huntley gave the Ravens the lead with a quarterback sneak,
Tagovailoa came on for the Falcons' overtime possession. He completed one pass
in his Falcons debut and then was intercepted by Kyle Hamilton to end the game.
