Kirk Cousins: There's a lot to fix
The Falcons are 2-2 after Sunday's win over the Saints, but they're not winning the way they hoped.
The signing of Kirk Cousins was supposed to fuel the offense, but the Falcons were unable to score a touchdown on that side of the ball with help from the defense and special teams in a 26-24 loss. They were able to drive for the game-winning field goal — a pass interference penalty in New Orleans provided a boost — but Cousins made it clear the team wasn't happy with how things were going on that side of the ball.
“Yes many things to fix . . This is such a results-driven league. So, getting a win is a big deal, but you never really stop going back and analyzing the performance and looking at how to get better,” Cousins said, via the team's website.
It's always better to fix things after a win than a loss, so Cousins and the Falcons can take some solace in the fact that they're the kind of team they hoped to be despite going 2-2 through the first month of the season.
