Kirk Cousins May Be More Hurt Than Thought
ESPN’s Bill Barnwell looked at Cousin’s Next Gen stats for the game, and noticed that the QB’s ability to run was the slowest it’s been in a game since 2017 “by a considerable margin.”
Additionally, Cousins took just 4% of his snaps from under center, and the Falcons didn't run play-action on a single snap. Cousins' best seasons have come in offenses in which he was under center and working with heavy doses of play-action.
It’s good that we’re getting a game against the Failcons early this year.
