That had to feel good.
Kirk Cousins was focused on what he could do better in the aftermath of that game, as you’d expect from him, but there had to be a honey-sweet sense of satisfaction underneath that for the veteran quarterback. After a long recovery from an Achilles injury and a poor performance in Week 1 that had everyone asking whether he was still injured, rusty, or both, Cousins overcome a slowish start to catch fire in the second half. It was his precise passing on the game’s final drive that made the improbable win possible.
That’s why despite Bijan Robinson’s eye-opening excellence and Zac Robinson’s clever and winning game plan, it’s Cousins who takes home the very prestigious Falcoholic game MVP award for Week 2.
