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 where 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.
Penix was 18-of-36 for 172 yards and two interceptions, including his first career pick-six.
Cousins was the Falcons' starting quarterback last season after signing a contract worth $100 million guaranteed in the 2024 offseason.
