As starting quarterback Kirk Cousins struggles, the Atlanta Falcons are receiving external pressure to consider a switch to rookie first-rounder Michael Penix.

The Falcons are 0-3 in that stretch as a result, dropping a close game to the archrival New Orleans Saints, getting blown out by the Denver Broncos and most recently falling at home to the Los Angeles Chargers because of a 4-pick Cousins game. A bye week is tucked in between Denver and L.A.

The Falcons are rocking with Cousins for now, but it doesn't mean they haven't thought about switching to Michael Penix.
