Facing an 0-2 start with his new team, Kirk Cousins orchestrated a game-winning drive in the fourth quarter on Monday night, leading the Atlanta Falcons to a 22-21 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, a win he told reporters that the club “can build on.”
PHILADELPHIA — Kirk Cousins spent the past week answering questions about his health, whether or not his rough performance in Week 1 was just rust or something more concerning. Maybe his surgically repaired right Achilles tendon had not fully recovered.
Cousins put those questions to rest, at least in the interim, by leading the Atlanta Falcons on a sublime game-winning drive Monday on the road against the Philadelphia Eagles.
“We found a way to win, and we can build on that, and I think [it’ll] build some character and some resolve in our group”, Cousins said in the postgame news conference.
The Falcons won 22-21 after a 70-yard scoring drive was capped by Cousins’ 7-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Drake London with 34 seconds left.
