Don’t look now, but there could be a quarterback change on the horizon for the Atlanta Falcons. Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins spoiled the game in their Sunday loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, who won 17-13, creating a fascinating storyline for the New Orleans Saints as they prepare for kickoff with the Los Angeles Rams. How did we get here?
Cousins played one of the worst games of his professional career, throwing four interceptions without a touchdown pass. One of those interceptions was attributed to former Saints safety Marcus Maye, who arrived in Los Angeles just this week after being waived by the Miami Dolphins. Talk about making the most of your opportunity.
As for the implications on the NFC South? That remains to be seen, but for now, the Saints are still here. The Saints enter their game with the LA Rams at 4-7, behind the Falcons (now 6-6) and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (5-6), who visit the Carolina Panthers (3-8) this afternoon.
Much depends on the Saints sending off the New Orleans Rams with a loss, but at this point, the division — and the coveted playoff spot — are within reach for Darren Rizzi’s team.
