Robinson, Falcons are looking to generate more offensive balance behind Penix against Vikings

The Atlanta Falcons are hoping to generate better support for quarterback Michael Penix Jr. in Sunday night's game at Minnesota after their running game was shut down in their opening loss to Tampa Bay. Penix passed for 298 yards and one touchdown, completing 27 of 42 passes, while also running for a score in the 23-20 loss to the Buccaneers. Penix had too little help as the Falcons rushed for only 69 yards and Younghoe Koo’s crucial last-second missed field goal prevented the game for going to overtime.
