The Atlanta Falcons (2-3) face the Chicago Bears in Week 6, with Michael Penix Jr. finally cleared from rib injuries after a tough loss to Baltimore. The Falcons must improve red-zone efficiency, as Nick Folk kicked four field goals in the previous game, while the defense deals with significant absences including A.J. Terrell Jr. and C.J. Henderson.

Key players to watch include Michael Penix Jr., who threw for 240 yards against the Ravens, running back Bijan Robinson with 86 rushing yards, and wide receiver Drake London with 118 receiving yards. On defense, Jessie Bates III led with 10 tackles and a fumble return touchdown, while Samson Ebukam recorded a sack against Baltimore.
