It feels like only yesterday when Kirk Cousins was spotted in an airplane draped in chains having the time of his life with the Minnesota Vikings squad. Some things change, like Cousins opting to join the Atlanta Falcons this past offseason. Other things, like Cousins’s uber-likable personality and undeniable “dad” swag, don’t.
Cousins helped the Falcons clinch a 26-24 win over the New Orleans Saints at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Sunday in a game where he admittedly didn’t have to do too much. The Falcons’ defense scored two touchdowns off Saints turnovers, and Cousins finished with 238 passing yards and one interception as Atlanta beat New Orleans on Younghoe Koo’s game-winning 58-yard field goal.
