The Atlanta Falcons enjoyed an adequate first half against the Arizona Cardinals, as they're tied 16-16 in Glendale. While the defense has sputtered, Kirk Cousins built on his best start of the year last weekend after throwing two touchdowns against a banged-up Arizona defense in the first half.
In the opening half, 37-year-old completed 10 of 22 passes for 115 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception. He started off rocky and improved as things went on, but his steady improvement came due to one common denominator: the lack of an Arizona pass-rush due to an injury to Josh Sweat.
