Current Dallas’ defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer and current Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins were set to face each other this past Sunday in Atlanta. Zimmer was Cousins’ coach from 2018-2021, and they enjoyed a four-year stint together before the team moved on from Zimmer for a young mind like Kevin O’Connell.
The pair was seen talking to one another prior to the game, likely reminiscing about the good times they had in Minnesota.
But Cousins got the better end of Zimmer and Dallas on Sunday. The Falcons took down the Cowboys, 27-21. Dallas moved to 3-5 on the year, while Cousins has Atlanta humming along at 6-3. Zimmer’s former starting quarterback threw for 222 yards and three scores against his Cowboys’ defense.
The Vikings will get a chance to face Cousins on Dec. 8 when Atlanta travels to Minnesota for what will likely be a big contest.
