The Atlanta Falcons ended a four-game losing streak with a narrow 15-9 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders, keeping their NFC South hopes alive. However, quarterback Kirk Cousins' performance remains a concern, as he has struggled significantly in recent games.
Cousins completed 11 of 17 passes for 112 yards, with one touchdown and one interception. The Falcons leaned on their running game, with Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier combining for 34 carries, and Cousins did not throw on first down in the first half for the first time in his career.
Coach Raheem Morris emphasized the need for Cousins to improve, but did not indicate a change at quarterback. Cousins acknowledged his need for better decision-making, as he has thrown nine interceptions in the last five games, leading the league in that category.
