Like Cousins, the Falcons do not have much playoff or Super Bowl experience. The last time the Falcons were in the big game was to conclude the 2016 season, when they famously blew a 28-3 lead to the New England Patriots. Atlanta has not made the playoffs since the 2017 season, and has two Super Bowl appearances -- both losses.

Appearing recently on The Dan Patrick Show, Cousins said that, if the Falcons were playing the game for all the football marbles (or at least 283 of them), he'd play.

After two years of inconsistent quarterback play, the Atlanta Falcons signed Kirk Cousins over the offseason to stabilize the position. Cousins, who will be 36 when the season begins, continues to perform at a high level when healthy.

Last season, quarterback Kirk Cousin suffered a season-ending ACL injury and he’s been working his way back to the football field ever since. But during a recent interview, he gave a pretty concerning update as he prepares for the upcoming season with the Atlanta Falcons.

The Falcons' management maintains its innocence in the case.. Kirk Cousins should be more careful with his words. The quarterback's statements prompted the NFL to begin an investigation for tampering in his hiring with the Atlanta Falcons.
