Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and thank you for joining us. As you watch the Atlanta Falcons put a mean demonstration down on the Green Bay Packers, Michael Pinnix in his first game back was 18 to 25, 256, a touchdown and an INT. Bijon Robinson went ham, 29 carries, $1.94, two touchdowns, Drake London, nine catches, $1.94. Along those 68, he was phenomenal. The Falcons run their record to one, and they were 0-2, they're 1-2 now, and the Packers are also 1-2. That was a pitiful performance, but let's not talk so much about what they didn't do as opposed to what the Falcons did to, but we'll get into that a little later.

We probably should have known something considering they had to go to overtime to beat the Jets and we don't think the Jets are very good. That's what the Packers had to do on Sunday. And but you know what? The Falcons came in and took care of business. Michael Pennings Jr. gets the Falcons in the win column. Thanks to an outstanding effort. He didn't start the game off. But after that interception, whoo boy did he light it up. 18 or 25, 256, one touchdown. Guys, what do you think? What do you like about what you saw from Michael Pennings Jr.? It seemed like they got to reprieve.

They had him 30 long.

The Packers, defender hit him up around the neck. They throw the penalty. Next play, Bijon gets out the door. And from that point on, the Falcons never looked back. But what did you like about what you saw from Michael Pennings Jr.? Ocho, you first.

Turn your mic on. You mute it. You mute it.

But yeah, I thought the Falcons, that reprieve really helped.

Chad Johnson (4:12)

I'm good.

Shannon Sharpe (4:14)

Yeah. Yeah.

Chad Johnson (4:15)

It started off bad. He was very shaky.

I thought he was a little uncomfortable. Some of the throws were high. The throws were really off. And obviously, I think it was the second or third down, where they got the rough in the passer.

Joe Johnson (4:26)

Third. That was third down.

Chad Johnson (4:29)

That's when everything changed. That momentum shifts a little bit. And once Bijon Robinson got going, they were not able to stop him.
