Michael Penix Jr. secured his first victory as the starting quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons, leading the team to a decisive 34-7 win over the struggling New York Giants. The Falcons' defense was instrumental, with Jessie Bates and Matthew Judon each recording interception returns for touchdowns.

Despite a rocky start, Penix completed 18 of 27 passes for 202 yards. The Giants, now on a franchise-record 10-game losing streak, struggled offensively, with Drew Lock throwing two pick-6s.
