🔥 Hot Takes

Cousins played hero after a disappointing Falcons debut in Week 1, with the veteran signal-caller seemingly shaking off some final rust over the course of the contest. Cousins got into a rhythm when it mattered most, helming a six-play, 70-yard drive that began with 1:39 remaining and saw him complete three passes of double-digit yardage before capping off the march with seven-yard touchdown pass. The scoring toss, which proved to be the difference in the contest, was preceded by a 41-yard strike to Darnell Mooney late in the third quarter. Cousins looked exponentially better than in the opener against Pittsburgh, and he'll hope to build on Monday night's effort in a Sunday night home showdown against the Chiefs in Week 3.
