FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Kirk Cousins was in desperate need of a big play.

The Atlanta Falcons quarterback had his team on its own 30-yard line with 29 seconds left against the New Orleans Saints in Week 4. The Falcons were down a point against their heated NFC South rivals.

Cousins saw wide receiver Darnell Mooney one-on-one on a vertical route down the right sideline and put the ball up. The pass fell incomplete, but Mooney induced a defensive pass interference call against cornerback Paulson Adebo.
