Falcons Bench Kirk Cousins for Rookie Michael Penix Jr. Amid Playoff Push
Dec 18, 2024, 01:45 AM
The Atlanta Falcons have made a significant change at the quarterback position, benching veteran Kirk Cousins in favor of rookie Michael Penix Jr., the No. 8 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, for their upcoming game against the New York Giants. This decision comes as the Falcons, with a 7-7 record, remain in contention for the NFC South title, trailing the 8-6 Tampa Bay Buccaneers by one game. Cousins, who signed a four-year, $180 million contract with $90 million guaranteed during the offseason, has struggled recently, throwing one touchdown and nine interceptions over the last five games. Falcons head coach Raheem Morris described the move as a 'football decision,' emphasizing the team's focus on preparing for the Giants. Penix will make his first NFL start as the Falcons aim to secure a playoff berth.
