Kirk Cousins top plays in Atlanta Falcons Week 12 win over the New Orleans Saints | Highlights

A LOT OF THE INITIAL SNAPS HAVE
BEEN HEAVY PERSONNEL. >> Adam: COUSINS UNDER PRESSURE
IS ABLE TO GET OUT OF IT LOOKING FOR DARNELL MOONEY, AND HE MAKES
THE GRAB. THAT WAS A VETERAN PLAY BY
COUSINS WITH SOME CALM PRESENCE >> Drew: YEAH.
SO YOU CAN TELL A LOT OF THIS EARLY GAME PLAN HAS BEEN RUN THE
FOOTBALL, BUT THEN YOU BRING THE PLAY ACTION.
REALLY NICE CATCH BY DARNELL MOONEY.
JUST PLUCKING THAT THING RIGHT OFF THE TURF.
>> Adam: YOU SAID IT. HE HAD A LOT OF SUCCESS LAST
YEAR WITH KIRK COUSINS. HE’S LINED UP TO THE RIGHT.
QUICK OUT FROM COUSINS, AND A CONNECTION WITH DAVID SILLS.
HE’S INTO NEW ORLEANS TERRITORY UP-TEMPO TOUGH.
THEY HAVEN’T BEEN ABLE TO COMPLETE THE BIG PLAYS.
>> Adam: THEY SPOTTED THE BALL AT THE 23.
THAT’S WHERE DAVIS MADE CONTACT FOR NEW ORLEANS AND THAT’S WHERE
ATLANTA STARTS THIS DRIVE. AND COUSINS WITH A FLOATER.
IT IS BOBBLED AND CORRALLED BY KYLE PITTS.
DOWNFIELD FLOATER AND PITTS DOWNFIELD FLOATER AND PITTS
HAULS IT IN FOR 23 YARDS. >> Drew: REALLY GOOD JOB BY THE
OFFENSIVE LINE UP FRONT. THIS CENTER ACTION PROVIDES
GREAT PLAY ACTION, BUT IT’S ALSO WHAT ALLOWS YOU THESE TIGHT ENDS
THAT ARE BLOCKING. THEY’RE BLOCKING, BLOCKING, AND
THEN YOU JUST SLOWLY RELEASE THEM ON SOME OF THESE WHEEL
ROUTES AND CREATE SOME DOWN THE VERTICALLY.
HE’S JUST GOT TO CATCH THE BALL. >> Adam: COUSINS, SACKED TWICE
ON THIRD DOWN. THIS TIME HE DELIVERS OUTSIDE TO
DARNELL MOONEY WHO PICKS UP THE FIRST.
>> Drew: CERTAINLY MOONEY HAS FOR A LARGE PART OF THE SEASON
LAST YEAR, AND CERTAINLY IN THE EARLY GOING NOW.
HE’S A REALLY DYNAMIC PLAYER, AND THAT’S WHAT SETS UP A LOT OF
THE INTERMEDIATE STUFF WITH HIM IS JUST BECAUSE AS A DEFENDER,
YOU’RE AFRAID OF HIS FEET. >> Adam: 64 CATCHES LAST YEAR.
CAREER-HIGH FIVE TOUCHDOWNS, EDGE, BUT PETE IS ONE OF THE
EXPLOSIVE, FAST LINEBACKERS WHO CAN.
>> Adam: SAINTS LOOKING FOR A STOP.
FALCONS HAVE THE BEST STREAK IN THE RED ZONE GOING.
PRESSURE PICKED UP. END ZONE SHOT, TOUCHDOWN.
DAVID SILLS. FALCONS EXTEND THE LEAD, AND AN
EXCELLENT JOB BY THE OFFENSIVE LINE TO PICK UP THE PRESSURE.
SILLS WITH THE TOUCHDOWN. THE FIRST OF HIS NFL CAREER.
>> Drew: YEP. KIRK COUSINS TALKED ABOUT HIS
RAPPORT WITH SILLS AND THE FACT THEY’VE JUST BEEN RUNNING SCOUT
TEAM TOGETHER THE ENTIRE YEAR. THAT ME TO YOU CONNECTION IS
THERE. THEY MOTION BIJAN ROBINSON OUT
OF THE BACKFIELD. HE PULLS THAT UNDERNEATH
COVERAGE DOWN, AND THAT’S WHAT OPENS UP THAT DOUBLE POST WINDOW
WITH THAT OUTSIDE LEVERAGE. THEY’VE JUST BEEN RUNNING SCOUT
TEAM TOGETHER THE ENTIRE YEAR. THAT ME TO YOU CONNECTION IS
THERE. THEY MOTION BIJAN ROBINSON OUT
OF THE BACKFIELD. HE PULLS THAT UNDERNEATH
COVERAGE DOWN, AND THAT’S WHAT OPENS UP THAT DOUBLE POST WINDOW
WITH THAT OUTSIDE LEVERAGE. HIGHLIGHT THOSE.
>> Adam: AFTER THE PICK, COUSINS.
ON THE ROLLOUT, RIGHT BACK TO THAT PLAY ACTION GAME, AND A
RARE CATCH MADE BY CHARLIE WOERNER, JUST HIS THIRD OF THE
YEAR AND HE DIDN’T HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF ROOM TO GO BECAUSE
ALONTAE TAYLOR WITH A NICE OPEN HE PLAYS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE, SO
HE HAS TO BE A GOOD TACKLER. >> Drew: YES, HE DOES.
HE’S A VERY VERSATILE PLAYER. PLAYS NICKEL AND HE’S IN A LOT
OF POSITIONS WHERE HE’S HAVING TO COVER TIGHT ENDS, AND COVER
RECEIVERS AS WELL. BUT HE’S PROVEN TO BE A VERY
SURE TACKLER. >> Adam: FAKE IT TO ROBINSON.
COUSINS WANTED TO GO DEEP. INSTEAD DUMPS IT OFF, AND A NICE
MANEUVER RIGHT BACK TO CHARLIE WOERNER HAS MANY CATCHES IN THE
LAST TWO PLAYS AS HE HAD IN THE FIRST TEN GAMES THIS SEASON, AND
HE GETS 18 YARDS OUT OF IT. HIS LONGEST PLAY OF THE YEAR.
>> Drew: THAT’S PRETTY NIFTY BY LOOK.
I LOVE THE AGGRESSIVENESS OF THE OFFENSE, MAN.
TWO PLAY ACTIONS IN A ROW. THEY’RE TRYING TO THROW THIS
DEEP PYLON ROUTE OR SAIL ROUTE OUT TO THE LEFT SIDE, BUT KIRK
COUSINS ALMOST LIKE MID-STREAM ADJUSTS JUST — JUST TO DUMP THE
CHECK DOWN. THAT WAS A VET MOVE.
KEEP THE DRIVE GOING. THROWING AFTER THE PICK SIX.
NOW A FLEA FLICKER BACK FROM ALLGEIER.
NOTHING FROM COUSINS. RIGHT BACK TO ERNER WHO BREAKS
THE TACKLE. THREE CATCHES IN A ROW FROM
CHARLIE WOERNER OF ALL PLAYERS. >> Drew: HE DESERVES IT AFTER
THAT BLOCK THAT HE MADE TO SET UP THE FIRST TOUCHDOWN.
>> Adam: YEAH. >> Drew: BUT MORE SO THAN
ANYTHING, YOU JUST LIKE THE AGGRESSIVE MENTALITY THAT THE
FALCONS’ OFFENSE IS TAKING RIGHT NOW.
YOU GOT A TIP PICK, IT WOULD BE EASY TO GO IN THE TANK AND GET
CONSERVATIVE AND START HANDING CONSERVATIVE AND START HANDING
THE BALL OFF. >> Adam: YEP.
>> Drew: IT’S TWO PLAY ACTIONS AND A FLEA FLICKER.
>> Adam: IT’S TIME TO GO DOWNFIELD.
ALLGEIER IN SPACE, KNOCKED OUT OF BOUNDS BY CHRIS RUMPH.
>> Drew: HERE’S THE OTHER THING >> Adam: SETS IT UP AT THE 23.
COUSINS, GOING RIGHT BACK TO PITTS, AND ANOTHER NICE SPACE
TACKLE BY TAYLOR. SHORT GAIN FOR KYLE PITTS.
>> Drew: OKAY. IF I’M — IF I’M COUSINS, RIGHT
AFTER THAT LAST PLAY, YOU KNOW, PITTS HAS STRUGGLED A BIT TODAY.
THREE DROPS, YOU KNOW, THE TIPPED INTERCEPTION THERE, I GO
RIGHT TO THE SAID LINE AND I GO, ON IT AND JUST DON’T GIVE UP ANY
BIG PLAYS IN THIS SITUATION. >> Adam: THEY’LL BRING AN EXTRA
BODY. UNDERNEATH IT GOES TO DAVID
SILLS. OR BEG YOUR PARDON, DYLAN
DRUMMOND. ON THIRD AND 5, FIVE-MAN
PRESSURE. COUSINS ACROSS THE MIDDLE,
DRUMMOND TRYING TO GET TO THE STICKS.
HE DOES GET OUT OF BOUNDS, BUT THIS IS GOING TO BE INTERESTING
WHERE THE SPOT IS AS DEMARIO WE’LL CHECK THE SPOT AS IT
RELATES TO THE LINE TO GAIN. JUST PAST THE 47 IS WHERE THEY
HAD THE LINE TO GAIN MARKED. THERE’S THAT CLOSING SPEED IN
YEAR NUMBER 14, DAVIS. TOO FAR AWAY FROM FIELD GOAL
RANGE. SAPTS
SAINTS BACK OFF. THEY BRING JUST FOUR.
ROBINSON, GOOD JOB OF HOLDING ONTO IT AND HE STOPS THE CLOCK
RUNNING OUT OF BOUNDS. >> Drew: PROBABLY A SITUATION
WHERE THE SAINTS WILL GET YOU HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO DO
THAT. >> Adam: AGAIN, JUST THE
FOUR-MAN RUSH FOR NEW ORLEANS. HERE COMES COUSINS STEPPING UP.
HE WANTS TO STOP THE CLOCK. SO HE’S GOING TO GET TO THE
STICKS, TAKE A SHOULDER AS WELL FROM JUSTIN REID.
A COUPLE OF VETERANS GOING AT IT THERE.
GUYS HAVE COMBINED FOR ALMOST GUYS HAVE COMBINED FOR ALMOST
300 CAREER NFL GAMES. >> Drew: WHAT I LOVE IS COUSINS
NOT SHYING AWAY FROM IT. LOOK.
HE’S JUST GOING TO GET THE FIRST >> Adam: AND A PENALTY HURT HIM.
IT TAKES HIM OUT OF THE PREFERRED FIELD GOAL RANGE.
COUSINS, MIDDLE. DOWN.
IT’S DRUMMOND. NOW THEY’RE GOING TO HUSTLE UP.
THEY HAVE TIME TO CLOCK IT. INTENTIONAL GROUNDING.
>> Adam: MIKE PEREIRA ON TOP OF IT AS ALWAYS.
SECOND IN THE QUARTER ON THE FIELD.
ROBINSON HAS GOT SOME BLOCKERS? FRONT AND HE BURSTS THROUGH THE
ALLEY AND HE GETS KNOCKED DOWN BY DEMARIO AVIS AND THEY PICK
UP ALL OF THAT YARDAGE AND THEN SOME.
A 33-YARD PLAY FOR BIJAN >> Drew: THAT’S REALLY A
DESIGNED SCREEN TO THE RIGHT WHERE THEY LURE THE DEFENSE IN
AND THEN JUST GET THE BALL INTO BIJAN ROBINSON’S HANDS IN SPACE,
BUT REALLY A COUPLE OF NICE BLOCKS IN FRONT OF HIM, AND I’LL
TELL YOU WHAT. LONGEST PLAY OF THE GAME RIGHT
THERE, 33 YARDS. TAKES HIM INTO NEW ORLEANS
TERRITORY. FAKE TO ROBINSON.
COUSINS WANTS TO TAKE A SHOT. IT’S MOONEY.
IT IS CAUGHT. IT’S A TOUCHDOWN!
SHADES OF 2024 AS COUSINS FINDS MOONEY FOR THE TOUCHDOWN.
49 YARDS. >> Drew: I’LL TELL YOU WHAT.
THIS IS WHAT MOONEY CAN DO. HE CAN FLY AND IT’S HEAVY PLAY
ACTION. THIS IS THE ONE TIME THE SAINTS
HAVE ALLOWED MOONEY TO GET OVER THE TOP AND JUST A PERFECTLY
THROWN FOOTBALL. HE LAYS IT OUT THERE FOR MOONEY
TO SOOILG LIGHTLY ADJUST AND HI IN STRIDE.
REALLY GREAT IN EXECUTION AND THAT’S ERE KURK IRK COUSINS IS
HIS BEST. >> Adam: THAT TIES 290 FROM
COUSINS. HE LAYS IT OUT THERE FOR MOONEY
TO SOOILG LIGHTLY ADJUST AND HI IN STRIDE.
REALLY GREAT IN EXECUTION AND >> Adam: HOW ABOUT KIRK COUSINS
WHO AT ONE POINT NEAR THE DEADLINE REQUESTED A TRADE TO
TRY TO GET AN OPPORTUNITY ELSEWHERE?
INSTEAD WHEN NOTHING DEVELOPED AND FORMULATED, THEY SAID ALL
RIGHT. WE’RE HOLD ON AND KIRK WILL STAY
WITH THE BACKUP AND HE GETS THRUST INTO THE ROLE WITH THE
PENIX INJURY AND HE COMES AWAY WITH A VICTORY FOR THE FIRST
TIME SINCE LAST SEASON.
