Atlanta Falcons coach Raheem Morris said “Kirk Cousins is our quarterback” when asked about the possibility of replacing him according to the team's official website.
Morris didn’t place much blame at Cousins’ feet following the Falcons’ 42-21 loss to the Vikings. Morris said his quarterback “played significantly better than he did [in Week 13]” while adding the team “did not support him” in the loss. Cousins threw for 344 scoreless yards in the defeat and has now gone four-straight games without throwing an interception while tossing eight picks. Morris sticking by his quarterback shouldn’t come as a surprise at this point.
The Falcons get a chance for a nice bounce-back in Week 15 against the Raiders and then have games against the Giants, Commanders, and Panthers to close things out. You couldn’t ask for an easier schedule when it comes to correcting course, now it’s on Cousins to take advantage of the schedule.
