Raheem Morris: Kirk Cousins ​​​​was significantly better than last week, he is our QB

Falcons head coach Raheem Morris steadfastly supported quarterback Kirk Cousins ​​after Cousins ​​threw four interceptions in Week 13, and he played the same tune after Sunday’s loss at Minnesota.

Cousins ​​threw two interceptions in the 42-21 loss and has now thrown eight interceptions and no touchdowns in the team’s last four games. During his postgame press conference, Morris showed no signs of considering a trade for rookie Michael Penix before the team’s Week 15 game against the Raiders.

“Everything is always discussed when you watch the tape and do all those things, but Kirk Cousins ​​is our quarterback,” Morris said. “We will have the opportunity to watch this tape like we do every week. Kirk played significantly better than the week before. We have a chance to go out and focus on ourselves and get a chance to go out and work on what we do and what we do well. We’re going to do whatever it takes to win football games and Kirk is definitely a part of that.”

Cousins ​​finished 23 of 37 for 344 yards and that looks better than last week, but the result was the same for a Falcons team that has faltered after a 6-3 start to the season. Four straight losses have knocked them out of first place and they need to stop their free fall against the Raiders if they want to have a real chance of getting back on top of the Buccaneers.
