Five takeaways from Falcons' 24-23 loss to New England Patriots
Michael Penix Jr.'s three touchdown passes weren't enough for the Atlanta Falcons to upset the New England Patriots in Week 9. Despite an impressive comeback effort in the second half of Sunday's 24-23 loss, the Falcons found a way to squander what could have been a season-saving win.
Atlanta has already worked out multiple free agent kickers this season and has Ben Sauls and Lenny Krieg on the practice squad. Krieg, who will be returning to his native Berlin when the Falcons play the Colts in Germany on Sunday, is considered a developmental prospect and is unlikely to be a candidate for the starting job this week.
