The Atlanta Falcons haven't had internal discussions about benching starting quarterback Kirk Cousins for backup rookie Michael Penix Jr., per Dianna Russini of The Athletic.
"Around the league, other coaches have pointed out [head coach Raheem Morris'] steadiness and belief in the quarterback, knowing it's never easy when you have a top draft pick sitting on the bench behind you. There is no denying Cousins played poorly last week, but the team isn't listening to those clamoring for Michael Penix Jr. I'm told no internal discussions of a QB switch have happened at this point.
