After a shaky start, Kirk Cousins has proven he’s back in top form. In Week One, his performance against the Steelers left many wondering if he had fully recovered from his Achilles injury. But after Thursday night’s game, there’s no doubt about it. Falcons head coach Raheem Morris noticed a significant improvement each week since Cousins returned from injury.

Cousins threw for an impressive 509 yards in the Falcons' 36-30 victory over the Buccaneers. This outstanding performance puts the Falcons in first place in the NFC South. Morris believes that as Cousins continues to gain confidence, he will only get better.

The path to recovery from a significant injury is never easy, but Cousins has shown remarkable progress. Each game since his return has been better than the last. This steady improvement is not just about physical ability; it’s also about gaining confidence in the Falcons' offense.

The rest of the NFC playoff contenders should take note: if Cousins keeps improving, he could become a formidable force. His comeback story is inspiring and shows that with dedication and perseverance, even major setbacks can be overcome.
