The Atlanta Falcons made a big move this week, benching veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins in favor of rookie Michael Penix Jr. On Wednesday, the team's head coach addressed the media and explained the decision.
Raheem Morris opened his press conference by saying Cousins, who signed with Atlanta in the offseason, handled the move with class. He said, "Any time you take a step down, a demotion ... it's not gonna be met with great appreciation. But Kirk is a professional, he's a pro, he's a man. He handled it with class."
