Raheem Morris has “no doubt” Kirk Cousins ​​will bounce back after four INT games

Quarterback Kirk Cousins threw four interceptions in the Falcons’ 17-13 loss to the Chargers on Sunday afternoon and has not thrown a touchdown pass in any of Atlanta’s last three games.

But even though the Falcons drafted Michael Penix Jr. at No. 8 overall, head coach Raheem Morris isn’t considering a quarterback change.

We don’t have any problems with that, manMorris said after the game, via Tori McElhaney of the team’s website. “I don’t think that will be a problem here. This guy (Cousins) carried us. This guy got us to the point where we’re 6-6, first place in the division, where despite everything that happened today, we still have everything ahead of us.

“It’s up to us to get back on our feet and find ways to win football games and there’s no better man than (No.) 18 to do that for us.”

Morris added that he never thought about including Penix in Sunday’s game.

The Falcons travel to Minnesota next weekend to play the Vikings, which will certainly put Cousins ​​in the spotlight. Morris expects Cousins ​​to bounce back against the NFC North club.

“I have no doubt he will get back on his feet and be ready to play, especially against his former team” Morris said, via Terrin Waack of the team’s website.

Cousins ​​finished Sunday’s game 24 of 39 for 245 yards and four picks. This season, he has now completed 67.4 percent of his passes for 3,052 yards with 17 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. His 3.3 percent interception rate is his highest since he became a full-time starter in 2015.
