The NFL world appears to be finished with Kirk Cousins.

On Sunday, NFL fans and pundits again called on the Atlanta Falcons to bench Cousins ​​and start rookie Michael Penix Jr. after another dismal performance.

Cousins ​​looked terrible against his former team as the Minnesota Vikings intercepted him twice in a 42-21 win over Atlanta. This brought Cousins’ interception total to eight in his last four games, with no touchdown passes in that span. With Penix on the bench, there is obviously a replacement ready and NFL fans want to see what the rookie can do.

The Falcons signed Cousins ​​this offseason from the Vikings, handing him a four-year, $180 million contract that included $100 million in guaranteed money. Then they shocked everyone by selecting Penix with the eighth pick in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft. As soon as they did that, a quarterback controversy was inevitable.

Cousins ​​hasn’t been good enough this season and the last four weeks have been his worst of the year. He did it on Sunday against his former team, completing 23 of 37 passes for 344 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions. He has now thrown 17 touchdown passes and 15 interceptions this season.

It’s time for the Falcons to take a look at Penix.
