1. Kirk Cousins is the biggest key to the 2024 Falcons
Who ever would have thought a quarterback would be a key to a team's success?
Ignore his past two games, Kirk Cousins has been excellent. He has brought more than just production on the field; he has brought veteran leadership and knowledge.
We haven't seen a quarterback in control of an offense like this since Matt Ryan. The confidence is different for these grizzled veteran passers. The Falcons must lean on him to get them into and through the playoffs.
If Cousins plays like he has these past two games, the Falcons won't go far. If he plays like he has for much of the season, they can go as far as anyone.
