“It leaves a bad taste in your mouth,” said Cousins, who threw a crucial interception into the hands of Saints defender Tyrann Mathieu in the final minutes. Cousins had a decent day outside of the pick, completing 23 of 38 pass attempts for 306 yards and one interception, but it wasn’t his best work.

The Atlanta Falcons lost a close game against the New Orleans Saints in Week 10, and they had several chances to win but failed in the clutch. After the game, Kirk Cousins was asked about the opportunities the offense had and was honest about what happened, according to Falcons reporter Tori McElhaney.

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins shredded the Buccaneers defense this season, but his 500-yard effort in Week 5 may be second-best.
