Kirk Cousins Debuts as Falcons Quarterback
Kirk Cousins had a challenging debut as the Atlanta Falcons' starting quarterback, completing 16 of 26 passes for 155 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions during a loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Despite concerns about his recovery from an Achilles injury, Cousins insisted that he felt good and attributed his struggles to the adjustment period rather than his health. The Falcons employed a pistol formation extensively, which was unfamiliar to Cousins, raising questions about whether the offensive scheme caters to his limitations post-injury. Head coach Raheem Morris defended Cousins' health, explaining that the game plan was intentional and shaped by the Steelers' defensive strategy. Analysts have voiced worries about Cousins' mobility and performance, noting a significant drop in his effectiveness, particularly in the second half, where he managed only 19 yards. As the Falcons prepare for their next game against the Philadelphia Eagles, the coaching staff is expected to adapt their approach to better fit Cousins' skill set.
