Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. criticizes New Orleans Saints before Monday night game

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. made critical comments about the New Orleans Saints ahead of their Monday night game on October 5, 2026, in New Orleans, USA. Penix said the only nice thing about the Saints is their stadium dome. He is coming off a strong performance in a win over the Green Bay Packers, but has never beaten the Saints. The Falcons lead the all-time series 58-56. The Saints lost last week to the Raiders, while the Falcons won. The game is important for early NFC South momentum.
