Kirk Cousins was left disappointed by his play in his Falcons debut as Atlanta fell to the Steelers.
DeShon Elliott and Donte Jackson pick off Kirk Cousins to spoil his Falcons debut as the Steelers hold on to win. on Sunday in Atlanta's Week 1 home opener and made what some expected to be a high-powered offense look pretty pedestrian.
"I was disappointed," Cousins said."Certainly disappointed. You always go out there with an expectation that you're going to play at a high level, and we didn't play up to our standard today." The Falcons signed Cousins to a four-year, $180 million contract in the offseason with the hopes of ending their recent quarterback woes. Cousins has been productive in the NFL for more than a decade and led the league in touchdown passes before going down with a season-ending Achilles tear in Week 8 last year.
On Sunday, Pitts had a 12-yard touchdown catch, but he and London combined for only five receptions and 41 yards. Robinson was featured on offense but had just 3.8 yards per carry . Robinson also had five catches for 43 yards.
