The Falcons are on a three-game losing streak and now statistically tied atop the division at 6-6 with the Buccaneers. Atlanta still holds the tiebreaker, but has a more difficult schedule in its final five games, starting with Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings (1 p.m. ET, Fox).

The Atlanta Falcons have lost three-straight games, and Kirk Cousins in in one of the worst stretches of his career as calls for Michael Penix Jr. intensify.

Dan Graziano of ESPN outlined the chances that the Falcons could bench Cousins in favor of rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr., who the team selected No. 8 overall in the 2024 NFL draft in a move that surprised just about everyone outside of the organization, as well as some inside of it -- Cousins included.
