Kirk Cousins with gutsiest call of the season in Falcons’ win

The Atlanta Falcons needed yards to get Younghoe Koo in reasonable field-goal range.

Problem was they had no timeouts left and there were 12 seconds to go in the fourth quarter Thursday night against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Short pass to the outside, get out of bounds and give your kicker a chance.

Not a chance if your quarterback is Kirk Cousins.

The veteran found Drake London over the middle for 14 yards and somehow got his team set and spiked the football with one second left.

After Falcons flub, getting called for delay of game, Koo came on and kicked a 52-yard field goal to send the game to overtime tied at 30.
