Michael Penix Jr. was designated as the Atlanta Falcons' starter for the New York Giants matchup after Kirk Cousins lost four of the previous five games. It was a decision that had not been made easily, since Cousins had signed a $180 million contract with the team.
The Michael Penix bet paid off as he led the team to a 34-7 victory. It came against the Giants who are the worst team in the league entering Week 16 and have the first overall draft pick. It will boost Penix's confidence who has to lead the team through two more regular season games.
Olivia Carter, Michael Penix's girlfriend, took to Instagram to post a celebratory post. She posted a back view picture of the couple with Penix's hand on her waist. Carter donned a black leather jacket and a white hat for the Giants game.
