Kirk Cousins continues unfortunate streak in Falcons’ loss to Vikings

Things have gone from bad to worse for Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins, who continued a highly unfortunate streak that could reasonably affect his starting gig moving forward.

Over the past four games, Cousins has thrown eight interceptions and zero touchdowns. He finished out Sunday’s 42-21 road loss to the Minnesota Vikings with 344 passing yards without a score and a pair of interceptions.

This comes just one week after he tossed a season-high four interceptions in the team’s 17-13 home loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Cousins has struggled and it’s getting harder to defend his poor play.

With Michael Penix Jr. waiting in the wings, fans have begun to call for a quarterback change. Head coach Raheem Morris wasn’t ready to announce any changes after the game but said he would evaluate everything.

“We’ll do whatever is best to go win football games and Kirk is definitely a part of that,” said Morris.

It will be interesting to watch how the Falcons move forward at quarterback with the entire season hanging in the balance.
