On their first throw attempt, Penix went down the field to Kyle Pitts, who dropped the pass.

The Falcons were passing again when Penix fumbled, but it's not clear who he would've been throwing to.

London is out there in his usual No. 5. He just hasn't gotten thrown to yet.

Given London's usual heavy usage, expect that to change in a hurry as the Falcons try to make up for their early turnover.
