Kirk Cousins

Kirk Cousins completed 16-of-26 passes for 155 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in the Falcons’ 18-10, Week 1 loss to the Steelers.

Cousins had an underwhelming performance in his Falcons debut, tossing two interceptions and fumbling the ball on a miscommunication with Ross Dwelley in motion. He was nearly strip-sacked for another turnover during the game and his last pick was a costly fourth quarter drive-ender. Ray-Ray McCloud was his most-targeted receiver on the day while the Falcons offense struggled to push the ball downfield. There will be growing pains as the Falcons offense continues to develop, but it was a rough start as Bijan Robinson was a focal point. Cousins coming off his Achilles injury will be a QB2 heading into next week.
