With Michael Penix Jr. nursing a bone bruise in his knee, the Atlanta Falcons turned to Kirk Cousins in Week 8 against the Dolphins. While many expected the start to mark the beginning of a quarterback controversy in Atlanta, Cousins' first start of 2025 went about as horrible as it possibly could.
Cousins completed 21-of-31 passes for 173 yards, but for the second straight Sunday, a rough outing for the run game led to the passing game suffering. Without both Penix and Drake London, it's no surprise to see Atlanta lose, but 34-10 to a 1-6 Miami team is straight up dysfunction.
