Kirk Cousins’ last-gasp touchdown pass to Drake London snatched his first win as the Atlanta Falcons quarterback against the Philadelphia Eagles in week 2. However, he may find chances hard to come by when the Kansas City Chiefs with Patrick Mahomes come to town on Sunday.
The Falcons’ head coach Raheem Morris especially is a big fan of the 3x Super Bowl winner/ MVP. According to him, Mahomes has otherworldly talents.
He’s [Patrick Mahomes] an alien. He’s smart, unique… can move around. He can buy time [and he] can play within the framework of the system.Raheem Morris told Josh Kendell of the Athletic
This will be the Mahomes’ second time playing against the Falcons. The last time was back in 2020, when Morris was just appointed as the interim head coach after the sack of Dan Quinn. Morris did a good job of keeping the 29-year-old quiet but couldn’t prevent the loss.
The Chiefs are off to a good start once more, winning both games against the Baltimore Ravens and the Cincinnati Bengals. On the other hand, beating the Eagles has instilled a sense of belief in Kirk Cousins. In his view, winning is the only thing that matters.
It’s so important to find ways to win. That’s how you put together a great season… That’s the way this league is and so when we can find those inches, it can really change the tale of the season.Kirk Cousins said

Why can the Atlanta Falcons win?
Cousins is still finding his feet in Atlanta. He looked good in the pocket against the Eagles blitz but needs to move around a lot more. The multiple-time Pro Bowler has a great record against the Chiefs with a passer rating of 92.9 with 783 yards and 7 touchdowns in 4 games.
He will heavily rely on running back Bijan Robinson, who ran the ball 32 times for 152 yards in the first two games.
Why can the Kansas City Chiefs cover?
The first task of the Falcons would be to silence Patrick Mahomes, but they should stay away from Roquan Smith’s strategies. However, it will be the Chiefs’ defense that is more than likely to sign in the game.
Defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo is a master of such moments and will relish the opportunity to tie down Cousins.
