Cousins leads Falcons to last-minute win over Eagles in Atlanta

On Monday night, Kirk Cousins orchestrated a remarkable last-minute drive for the Atlanta Falcons, culminating in a 7-yard touchdown pass to Drake London with just 34 seconds remaining, securing a 22-21 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. The game was marked by a critical moment when Saquon Barkley dropped a pass, allowing the Falcons a chance to rally after the Eagles had taken a late lead. Barkley, in his home debut, rushed for 95 yards on 22 carries but his drop proved costly. Cousins had an impressive performance, completing 20 of 29 passes for 241 yards and two touchdowns. His first touchdown was a 41-yard connection with Mooney, who recorded three catches for 88 yards. The Eagles' Jalen Hurts also had a solid outing, going 23 of 30 for 183 yards, including a touchdown pass to DeVonta Smith. However, the Eagles missed a crucial opportunity to extend their lead when they failed to convert on a fourth-and-4 at Atlanta's 9-yard line. The game featured a strong performance from Falcons' running back Bijan Robinson, who rushed for 97 yards. Despite the Eagles' defense stopping him on a late fourth-and-1 attempt, the Falcons capitalized on their offensive opportunities. The Eagles had previously held the Packers to just three field goals in their opener, showcasing their defensive capabilities. In a nostalgic moment, former Eagles quarterback Nick Foles, who led the team to its only Super Bowl title, served as an honorary captain, energizing the crowd. The Falcons played without linebacker Nate Landman due to injuries, while the Eagles are set to face the New Orleans Saints next Sunday.
