Atlanta Falcons Lose Fourth Straight to Vikings

The Atlanta Falcons suffered their fourth consecutive loss, falling 42-21 to the Minnesota Vikings, which has resulted in a slip from their earlier lead in the NFC South. Quarterback Kirk Cousins had a disappointing performance, throwing two interceptions and failing to score a touchdown for the fourth straight game, raising concerns about his effectiveness. Despite the criticism from former players and a dismal 0-6 touchdown-to-interception ratio in his last four games, Falcons head coach Raheem Morris reaffirmed his commitment to Cousins as the starting quarterback. Morris acknowledged the need for improvement but expressed confidence in Cousins' potential to contribute to future victories. The Falcons now trail the Tampa Bay Buccaneers by one game and will face the Las Vegas Raiders next week, needing a win to stay competitive. As the season progresses, the pressure mounts on Cousins to turn his performance around and lead the team effectively.
