Kirk Cousins had his best game this season last week in an upset win over the Buccaneers. The 37-year-old veteran made his fourth start in place of an injured Michael Penix Jr. and completed 30 of 44 passes for 373 yards and three touchdowns in a 29-28 comeback victory.
It was a particularly encouraging performance for Cousins, who struggled toward the end of last year and was benched for Penix as Atlanta attempted to make a playoff push. Penix then took over as the starter, all the way until he suffered a torn ACL last month.
