Penix, Falcons hand previously unbeaten 49ers a 29-20 loss
Michael Penix Jr. threw three touchdown passes, Atlanta scored 13 points off four turnovers and the Falcons handed the San Francisco 49ers their first loss, 29-20. San Francisco was already thin at wide receiver before its offense faced additional limitations when running back Christian McCaffrey missed much of the first half with a thigh injury. Brock Purdy threw two interceptions, one of them by rookie linebacker Kendal Daniels. Daniels also recovered a fumble by George Kittle.
Penix threw scoring passes to Nick Muse, Kyle Pitts and Drake London. The Falcons snapped a two-game skid.
