Pro Football Focus predicts increased interceptions for Falcons' Penix

Pro Football Focus forecasts that Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. may face an uptick in interceptions during the 2026 season. PFF's analysis indicates that, despite his impressive 2025 season with a 3-to-1 touchdown to interception ratio, there were indicators suggesting luck in his low interception tally. Penix's performance, particularly a 276-pass attempt stretch without interceptions on non-turnover-worthy plays, might be difficult to replicate. Head coach Kevin Stefanski will aim to position Penix for success as the Falcons continue through OTAs, with competition in the quarterback position heating up against Tua Tagovailoa. The team is scheduled to return to action Monday.
