Cousins Has Lessons From the Broncos Game To Be Applied Against the Chargers
Against the Broncos in Week 11, the Falcons had a horrible outing on both sides of the ball. After the 38-6 loss, Cousins highlighted that the Broncos deserved to win. However, the Falcons still lead the NFC South, and their mindset needs to reflect that.
“I do not think we will be in complacency (mode),” said Cousins. “That would not be a concern of mine right now. I think it is the league. Each game is its own entity. That applies when you win and play well or when you lose and play poorly.
“There has to be this ability, and it can be difficult mentally and emotionally, to separate each game from the previous one or from the next one and just go play that game regardless of what has transpired.”
The Falcons are 6-5 this season with Cousins notching 17 touchdowns and 2,807 passing yards. Cousins currently sits fifth overall this season in terms of passing yards in the NFL.
