  • Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Nursing injury after Monday's game

    Head coach Raheem Morris said that Koo "kind of hurt himself a bit" in Monday's 15-9 win over the Raiders, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports. "We'll figure it out more [Wednesday] after the medical things get in," Morris said.

    Koo knocked down his lone extra-point try and made field-goal attempts of 48 and 40 yards before missing wide left on his final kick of the night, a 42-yarder with 5:31 remaining in the fourth quarter. It's unclear if the injury Morris alludes to contributed to the uncharacteristic miss, but more information about Koo's status heading into Sunday's game against the Giants should be known when Atlanta releases its first Week 16 injury report Wednesday.

  • Falcons' Kirk Cousins: Not yet confirmed for Week 16 start

    Head coach Raheem Morris was non-committal Tuesday when asked if Cousins will remain the Falcons' starting quarterback for Sunday's game against the Giants, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports. "We just got back [from Las Vegas]. We still have to go through that process," Morris said. "All those things will happen over the course of the week. We didn't play well enough at the quarterback position."

    Though the Falcons snapped their four-game losing streak Monday with a 15-9 win over the Raiders, Cousins' play didn't inspire much confidence in the prospects of the Atlanta offense moving forward. After Cousins had turned in a disastrous 0:8 TD:INT during the previous four games, the Falcons leaned heavily on the ground attack in Week 16, attempting 37 runs on the night. Cousins was unable to do much with his 20 dropbacks, taking three sacks and completing 11 of 17 pass attempts for 112 yards, one touchdown and NFL-leading 16th interception of the season. Though a soft home matchup against the 2-12 Giants awaits in Week 16, the 7-7 Falcons may view the game as a good opportunity to see if rookie first-round pick Michael Penix can provide an upgrade over the struggling Cousins as Atlanta looks to stay in the thick of the NFC playoff race. Expect Morris to provide an update on the Falcons' plans at quarterback Wednesday, when the team resumes practicing.

  • Falcons' Tyler Allgeier: Double-digit carries in win

    Allgeier rushed 12 times for 43 yards in the Falcons' 15-9 win over the Raiders on Monday night.

    Allgeier logged his highest carry total since Week 8 in the run-centric win, pushing his rushing yardage tally over the last two games to 106 across 21 attempts. He was left out of the passing game altogether for the second straight contest, and he remains in a strict complementary role to Bijan Robinson, who's now received at least 22 carries in three straight contests, heading into a Week 16 home matchup against the Giants.

  • Falcons' Kyle Pitts: Team-high catch tally Monday

    Pitts secured all four targets for 28 yards in the Falcons' 15-9 win over the Raiders on Monday night.

    The struggling tight end saw a welcome uptick in involvement, even as that came accompanied with a modest receiving yardage total. Pitts' catch and target totals were both team-high figures, and both the reception and yardage tallies also were his best since Week 10. Pitts will look to carry over the momentum into a Week 16 home matchup against the Giants.

  • Falcons' Drake London: Hauls in 30-yard TD in win

    London secured all three targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in the Falcons' 15-9 win over the Raiders on Monday night.

    London led the Falcons in receiving yards and scored the team's only touchdown on a 30-yard grab in the first quarter. The talented wideout's trip to the end zone was his first since Week 9, and he was able to eclipse 50 receiving yards for the fifth consecutive contest. London did see a big drop in targets after garnering 26 looks over the previous two games, but Kirk Cousins threw only 17 times overall on the night. London next takes aim at a Giants defense that just gave up five touchdown passes to Lamar Jackson when New York visits Atlanta in Week 16.

  • Falcons' Bijan Robinson: Another 100-yard effort in win

    Robinson rushed 22 times for 125 yards and brought in one of two targets for 10 yards in the Falcons' 15-9 win over the Raiders on Monday night.

    Robinson had clear control of the Falcons' ground game once again, although backfield mate Tyler Allgeier logged 12 carries of his own as part of a run-centric game plan. Robinson eclipsed the 100-yard mark for the fourth time this season in the process, doing so with a figure that qualified as a new season high. The second-year back has now encouragingly logged at least 22 carries in three straight contests, and he could potentially put together an even better performance against the Giants' suspect run defense in a Week 16 home matchup.

  • Falcons' Kirk Cousins: Pedestrian numbers in win

    Cousins completed 11 of 17 passes for 112 yards with a touchdown and an interception and netted no gain on three rush attempts in the Falcons' 15-9 win over the Raiders on Monday night. He also committed a fumble but recovered.

    Cousins' numbers were hardly of the redemptive variety after a four-game stretch that may have had his starting job in danger, but the veteran signal-caller at least snapped his four-game touchdown drought with a 30-yard first-quarter scoring strike to Drake London. Cousins ultimately wasn't tasked with doing much more against an inept Raiders offense helmed by Desmond Ridder, leading to his lowest passing yardage total of the campaign. Cousins may enjoy a similar game script in a Week 16 home matchup against the lowly Giants, who also should pose very little threat.
