Kirk Cousins Leads Falcons Past Eagles

In a stunning comeback, Kirk Cousins led the Atlanta Falcons to a 22-21 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 2, overcoming a 6-point deficit with less than two minutes remaining. Cousins completed 20 of 29 passes for 241 yards and two touchdowns, culminating in a game-winning drive capped by a touchdown pass to Drake London. The Falcons, who had only a 0.7% chance to win at one point, benefited from a critical dropped pass by Eagles running back Saquon Barkley, which shifted momentum in the game's final moments. Despite the victory, Cousins remained self-critical, emphasizing the need for improvement. The loss dropped the Eagles to 1-1, while the Falcons celebrated their first win of the season, showcasing Cousins' resilience after recovering from a severe Achilles injury. Atlanta head coach Raheem Morris praised Cousins for performing under pressure, a sentiment echoed by fans who recognized his clutch performance.
