Cousins is roughly a year removed from an Achilles surgery and has started to move better in recent weeks. The team has won five of its last six games since starting 1-2 and Cousins’ legs are a big reason for that.

The Atlanta Falcons lost a close game against the New Orleans Saints in Week 10, and they had several chances to win but failed in the clutch. After the game, Kirk Cousins was asked about the opportunities the offense had and was honest about what happened, according to Falcons reporter Tori McElhaney.
