Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris has not confirmed whether Kirk Cousins will remain the starting quarterback for the upcoming game against the New York Giants. After a lackluster performance in a recent win over the Raiders, where Cousins struggled with a poor touchdown-to-interception ratio, the Falcons may consider rookie Michael Penix as a potential replacement. The team's playoff hopes are still alive, but Cousins' recent form raises questions about his effectiveness moving forward.
  • Kirk Cousins' starting role is in jeopardy after poor performances.
  • Rookie Michael Penix may be considered for a start if Cousins continues to struggle.
  • The Falcons are still in playoff contention despite recent challenges.
