The Falcons offense moved the ball well on their opening drive against the Carolina Panthers. While they were forced to settle for a field goal, the offense has operated much better with rookie Michael Penix Jr. under center.
Early in the drive, Penix rifled a pass between multiple Panthers defenders to wide receiver KhaDarel Hodge, who made an acrobatic catch on the sideline while keeping his feet inbounds.
Watch Hodge’s catch below, as shared by the team’s social media account.
