Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris reacts to Kirk Cousins's play on Monday Night Football.
Cousins began the game strong, completing his first four pass attempts and hitting wide receiver Drake London on a 30-yard touchdown pass toward the end of the fourth quarter. Following that touchdown drive, the Falcons' offense could barely do anything for the rest of the game.
Instead, the Falcons defense and special teams had to carry the team to the win after the first quarter. The defense forced three turnovers off of former Falcons quarterback Desmond Ridder, who was filling in because of injury. The defense forced a punt and safety and gave the team nine of its 15 points on the day.
"He’s got to play better," Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said of Cousins after the game. "We have to find a way to get him to play better. We have to play better at the quarterback position."
