Falcons MVP for Week 8: Kirk Cousins does it again

Related Topics: Kirk Cousins, Atlanta Falcons

Against all non-Tampa Bay Buccaneers opponents in 2024, Kirk Cousins has been pedestrian statistically, with a few standout stretches and putrid stretches mixed in. He’s got a bunch of 200ish yard game with six touchdowns and six interceptions in his six efforts against all other opponents, the kind of production the Falcons have gotten the past couple of years from lesser lights at quarterback. Atlanta is, perhaps fittingly, 3-3 against those opponents.

Against the Buccaneers, though? Cousins is a god. He is a slinger of meteors from galactic arms, sweeping fire and ruin down on Todd Bowles and his Tampa Bay defense.
