Don’t miss the action as the Giants take on the Falcons and Michael Penix Jr.
The New York Giants (2-12) head to Atlanta for a Week 16 showdown against the Falcons (7-7) this Sunday, Dec. 22, at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. ET, with FOX broadcasting the game.
This will be the 25th regular-season meeting between the two teams, with Atlanta holding a 14-11 edge in the series. The Giants’ most recent victory over the Falcons came on Oct. 16, 2014, when they won 30-20 at MetLife Stadium.
The Atlanta Falcons are shaking things up in Week 16 as they turn to rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr. to lead the offense against the struggling Giants. This decision follows a rocky stretch under veteran Kirk Cousins, who has struggled over the past five games, managing just one touchdown while throwing nine interceptions.
Despite securing a win against the Las Vegas Raiders last week, the Falcons sit at 7-7 and find themselves at risk of missing the playoffs after giving up the NFC South lead to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
On the other side, the New York Giants are enduring one of the most challenging seasons, in franchise history fully embracing a rebuild after parting ways with quarterback Daniel Jones. Drew Lock is set to return as the starter for New York after missing Week 15 due to injury, hoping to provide a spark for a team looking to salvage some pride in the closing weeks of a difficult campaign.
