The Atlanta Falcons entered Week 12 sitting at 3-7 and amid a five-game losing streak, but the streak was finally snapped on Sunday afternoon. Despite having no Michael Penix Jr. or Drake London in New Orleans, the Falcons toppled the New Orleans Saints 24-10 as Kirk Cousins shined in the victory.
Another season-ending injury already has doubt setting in regarding Penix's long-term future in Atlanta, but the success of his backup is only muddying the waters. Against the Saints, Cousins spent the majority of the game lining up under center, while the 25-year-old has mostly been playing out of the pistol this season.
