Quarterback Michael Penix Jr. was the standout for Atlanta, throwing for an impressive 409 yards and four touchdowns, showcasing his ability to exploit the Eagles' secondary. Meanwhile, Kenneth Walker contributed on the ground with 28 rushing yards, while the Eagles' Eli Stowers shone as a target, racking up 155 receiving yards in a losing effort.
