Key points
- Michael Penix Jr left Atlanta's game against the Baltimore Ravens with a rib injury after a hard hit on the Falcons' final drive of regulation. Tua Tagovailoa came on to lead the offence in overtime, needing a touchdown in under three minutes, but was intercepted on his second throw.
- The 30-23 loss leaves Atlanta below .500.
- Tagovailoa could start against the Chicago Bears in Week 6 if Penix is unable to play.
