• The San Francisco 49ers arrive in Atlanta unbeaten and sitting at No. 1 in the Week 7 power rankings.
  • Penix is in the lineup for Atlanta, and the numbers around him are hard to ignore.
  • He has been blitzed on 46.7% of his dropbacks, the second-highest rate in the NFL.
  • When pressure has gotten home, his production has dipped as well: he has the seventh-worst EPA per dropback at minus-0.67 and the second-worst completion percentage over expected among quarterbacks with at least 30 dropbacks under pressure.
  • Rookie linebacker Kendal Daniels was carted off during the third quarter against the Bears after making a tackle, but the early update was encouraging.
  • Stefanski said the initial reports were positive, and on Monday he added that the initial testing on Daniels was positive.
  • Penix said after the Bears game, “I feel good health-wise.” Atlanta will need that to hold true, because the challenge ahead is not subtle.
  • The 49ers are unbeaten, ranked first, and coming to Mercedes-Benz Stadium with the kind of profile that turns every weakness into a test.
