Former Atlanta Falcons offensive lineman Mike Johnson explains why nothing needs to or will change with the Falcons’ offensive line now that the left handed rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr. is the starter.

Atlanta has competed in the NFC South race throughout the season, but Cousins struggled in the second half. The 36-year-old threw just one touchdown compared to nine interceptions over a five-game stretch prior to being benched, and the Falcons went 1-4 in those games.

The Falcons are giving the football to Michael Penix Jr. over Kirk Cousins, but there are many ways that can go wrong for the young QB.
