After driving the length of the field and hitting tight end Kyle Pitts for a game-tying touchdown with under two minutes left in Sunday night’s game against the Commanders, the Falcons’ defense came up with a three-and-out stop on the ensuing possession to give rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr. a chance at glory with 40 seconds left to get his team in position to kick a winning field goal.
On the first play of their final drive, beginning with 40 seconds left, Penix immediately put the Falcons in business by nailing Darnell Mooney down the right sideline for 25 yards.
