I don’t know about you, but I spent most of last night’s game thinking it really wasn’t Atlanta’s night.
Kirk Cousins definitely looked more comfortable than he did in Week 1 (and too more snaps from under center), but I would be remiss if I didn’t specifically acknowledge how pretty his game-winning drive was. I had some concerns that the Falcons scored too soon and left Philly too much time to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat, but Jessie Bates certainly took care of that with his game-sealing pick.
Game notes
- The Falcons defense forced a turnover on downs in the first quarter, managing to stop their opponent on fourth down in the red zone in back-to-back weeks to start the 2024 season.
