Like staring into a new galaxy via telescope or examining a hotel bedspread via microscope, the Atlanta Falcons’ offense raises more questions the longer one stares. A quick, drive-by assessment might conclude that the Falcons’ quarterback is simply too rusty, too injured or too old to complete his tasks as assigned. After all, Kirk Cousins has not thrown a touchdown since Nov. 3 and now has six interceptions in his past two games.
That belief, I feel, would be incorrect (and is shared by Falcons coach Raheem Morris, who declared Cousins the starter moving forward, even after another statistically bad performance).
