Kirk Cousins and the Atlanta Falcons have done it again. The Falcons won another close game, as they pulled off a 36-30 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at home Thursday night, thanks in large part to the record-setting performance of Atlanta’s shiny new quarterback.
Cousins went absolutely off in Week 5, with the 36-year-old QB passing for 509 yards and four touchdowns with just an interception on 42-of-58 pass completions. The 509 yards he racked up set a new franchise record, breaking the old mark made by Matt Ryan. Interestingly enough, Ryan was in attendance at the Buccaneers-Falcons game for his induction into Atlanta’s Ring of Honor.
And there could be no one prouder than what Cousins and the Falcons did against the Bucs than his wife, Julie Cousins, who posted a hyped reaction on Instagram Story following Atlanta’s victory.
“These endings!!!!! This team !!!” Julie shared.
The Falcons looked like they were circling down the drain when they were still trailing Tampa Bay by three points with less than 20 seconds remaining in the contest. But Cousins completed a pass to wide receiver Drake London on a second-and-10 situation to move the chains closer for a field-goal attempt.
