From an injury perspective, the signal-callers in the Atlanta Falcons quarterback room, Kirk Cousins and Michael Penix Jr., have gone through it

Falcons QB Kirk Cousins admitted that Thursday's comeback win against the Buccaneers was a morale "boost" after a tough stretch in Atlanta.

It all started with a fan inquiry on Reddit, which was titled “ This Mendoza kid from IU is giving me straight Kirk Cousins vibes circa 2015 .” According to the Redditor, Mendoza’s “ teary-eyed and churchy ” persona was painfully similar to that of Cousins’ back when he was still competing for the since-renamed Washington Redskins.

Amid a difficult tenure in Atlanta, the 37-year-old quarterback reignited his free-agent market with a spectacular performance against the Buccaneers.

The Buccaneers fell to 7-7, a half-game behind the Carolina Panthers in the NFC South. It has been a tough time for Cousins, who was benched last season and lost his job. He got it back due to a season-ending knee injury to Penix. He had been written off at age 37. But for one night at least, the Falcons looked smart for keeping him on the roster.
