Penix's +0.24 EPA/dropback debut shows elite efficiency; Ravens matchup is the test.

Penix delivered one of the better performances of his young NFL career in his 2026 debut against the Packers, averaging +0.24 EPA/dropback en route to a 35-14 win. The source notes his individual play has been a rollercoaster over recent years and questions whether he can sustain this level against a Ravens defense that has played well against subpar quarterbacks, but his strong EPA metric and healthy offensive line context suggest upside heading into the Atlanta-Baltimore matchup.
