Kirk Cousins' last touchdown pass came on November 3rd in a 27-21 home victory vs Dallas. He threw for three scores that day and has now gone three consecutive games without throwing a touchdown. The team is also 0-3 in those games. That is not a coincidence.

Cousins has thrown six interceptions since his last touchdown pass. That is hardly a formula for sustainability, never mind a template for success. His path back to the quarterback that threw for 500 yards in a single game will not get easier this Sunday as the team heads to Minnesota to face a stout Vikings defense.

Kirk Cousins was brought to Atlanta to fix a woeful quarterback situation that has plagued the Falcons since Matt Ryan retired. Unfortunately, right now he is adding to the team's issues and not fixing them.
