Falcons Start with Tua Over Penix | Atlanta Falcons News

Atlanta Falcons roll with veteran Tua Tagovailoa over rookie Michael Penix Jr. for Week One against the Steelers, despite Penix’s recent ACL recovery and Tagovailoa’s shaky camp performance. Tagovailoa, 28, signed a one-year deal with Miami still covering part of his salary, is seen by new coach Kevin Stefanski as a chip-on-shoulder candidate ready to prove doubters wrong after a rough stint with the Dolphins. The game kicks off Sunday at 1 p.m., setting the stage for a high-stakes QB showdown. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
