Kirk Cousins showcased his prowess in the Atlanta Falcons' thrilling 36-30 overtime victory against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, throwing for a record 509 yards and four touchdowns. This marks a significant improvement from the previous week, where the Falcons struggled offensively.
Cousins expressed newfound confidence in his passing, particularly with targets Drake London and Kyle Pitts, indicating a growing chemistry with his receivers. Coach Raheem Morris noted that the team is just beginning to tap into Cousins' potential.
Despite the offensive success, the Falcons' defense remains a concern, ranking last in the league with only five sacks. The team will also monitor injuries to key players as they prepare for their next matchup against the Carolina Panthers.
