In Week 1, Kirk Cousins had an anemic start to his Atlanta Falcons career, throwing for a measly 155 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions. He looked cautious, the game plan didn’t appear to suit him, and there was a little bit of early panic fluttering about the fanbase.
Patience, we were told, and things got better. Cousins looked shaky in Week 2 but pulled it all together in the end for a 241 yard, two touchdown performance. In Weeks 3 and 4, he threw for a combined 468 yards and one touchdown against a pair of picks.
