CBS Sports’ Jeff Kerr projected the Atlanta Falcons to be one of five teams poised to take a “major leap” during the 2024 NFL season.
Kerr argued Cousins is the main reason he included the Falcons on a list of five teams set to make a “major leap” this fall.“While the Cousins-Penix dynamic could be a problem, Falcons quarterbacks were just 28th in completion percentage, 28th in passing yards and 27th in passing touchdowns over the past two seasons. That will improve with Cousins, who was fifth in completion percentage , second in pass yards and tied for first in passing touchdowns through the first eight weeks last season .
If everything else is equal, the Falcons will be a playoff team if they simply receive better game management at quarterback late in contests this season. Cousins, though, is more than just a game manager. He’s been a perennial Pro Bowler over the last decade. He most recently made the Pro Bowl with But in addition to Cousins, Kerr likes the additions of wide receivers Darnell Mooney and Rondale Moore. Kerr also sounded positive that new head coach Raheem Morris will get more out of Atlanta’s defense this season.“This team is closer to the playoffs than many think,” concluded Kerr.
The Falcons were one of two NFC teams Kerr included on his list of five teams set for a “major leap” in 2024. The other NFC squad was the Green Bay Packers.Dave is a staff writer at Falcon Report.
