Atlanta Falcons QB Kirk Cousins’ team debut was not a particularly strong one, with the Falcons falling in an 18-10 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday afternoon to open their 2024 season.
The veteran signal-caller completed just 16-of-26 passes for 155 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions while rarely pushing the ball down the field. He also threw at least two other passes that easily could have been intercepted.
While the production was disappointing, the Falcons’ play-calling and overall offensive approach was just as concerning. Mostly because it raises some concerns as to how healthy Cousins might actually be after suffering an Achilles injury that cut his 2023 season short.
Consider these numbers on the Falcons’ play-calling on Sunday from Field Yates.
