"Quarterback Kirk Cousins' 83.3 PFF grade against the Saints was the third-highest of his tenure as a Falcon. Therefore, we can be thankful that he did not forget how to play quarterback, as the Falcons evolved their offense into a play-action, under-center-heavy attack for the first time."
"With fellow wideout Drake London doubtful against the Jets with a knee injury, Darnell Mooney will once again have to do the heavy lifting as a playmaker in the passing game. Coming off a season-high 74 yards on three catches against the Saints, it finally appears he's ready to live up to it. Mooney's connection with Cousins seemingly picked up where it left off in 2024, and we can all be thankful that there is a second quasi-reliable receiving option besides London on the field."
The Falcons beat the Saints and seek a follow-up win over the Jets to build a late-season streak. Kirk Cousins earned an 83.3 PFF grade, his third-highest as a Falcon, as the offense shifted to a play-action, under-center-heavy approach. Questions persist about injured starter Michael Penix's development given the new scheme, while offensive coordinator Zac Robinson shows growth as a play-caller. Drake London is doubtful with a knee injury, elevating Darnell Mooney after a season-high 74 yards. Right tackle Elijah Wilkinson has allowed 21 pressures since the Week 5 bye and faces Jets rusher Jermaine Johnson.
