Training camp is coming to an end, and the Atlanta Falcons are ready to take the field for the three preseason games of the 2025 NFL season.
All eyes will be on Mercedes-Benz Stadium as the team attempts to make the playoffs with a refreshed defense and a new leader of the office.
This year, the team's starter will be Michael Penix Jr., who is looking to make a statement in his second season with the team.
Penix played three games last year. He'll be backed up by veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins.
