Gentlemanly enough to give his NFC South foes a break after erupting for a historic, 509-yard, four-touchdown showcase just 24 days prior, Kirk Cousins decided that Oct. 27, 2024’s occasion would merely call for three different touchdowns of 30+ yards. Scorching-hot, and registered for two touchdowns within the game’s first half, Atlanta’s star quarterback melts his creamsicle-uniformed opponents once more, lasering a pinpoint dime through a seam in the Buccaneers’ zone for a 30-yard touchdown dime. In some ways even more brilliant in Round 2 against Tampa Bay, Cousins guided the Falcons’ 31-26 win — seizing control of the division’s first-place spot — by going 23-of-29 for 276 yards and four touchdowns, good for a 145.9 passer rating.
