CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- It took just three weeks for Atlanta Falcons fans to get another glimpse of Kirk Cousins in regular-season action.
The veteran quarterback replaced the struggling Michael Penix Jr. with 10:44 left in a game in which the Falcons were down 27-0 to their NFC South division rivals. Cousins wasn't able to move the ball much in his first series, with Atlanta turning the ball over on downs.
The Falcons ultimately were shut out, losing 30-0 to the Panthers.
Penix was 18-of-36 for 172 yards and two interceptions, including his first career pick-six.
