After a narrow victory against the struggling Raiders, Falcons coach Raheem Morris is hesitant to confirm Kirk Cousins as the starting quarterback for the upcoming game against the New York Giants. This marks a shift in Morris's previously unwavering support for Cousins, who has faced scrutiny following a four-game losing streak.

Despite a win that keeps Atlanta's playoff hopes alive, Cousins' performance has raised concerns. His struggles with accuracy and mobility, stemming from a previous injury, have led to calls for rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr. to take the reins as the team fights for postseason contention.
