Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator Zac Robinson once again found himself playing defense on his handling of quarterbacks Kirk Cousins and Michael Penix Jr.

New Orleans' only TD came on Justin Reid's 49-yard interception return in the second quarter on a pass that was tipped by Kool-Aid McKinstry. Reid's first TD since his rookie season in 2018 briefly pulled the Saints within 10-7.

Kirk Cousins is once again the starting quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons. After Michael Penix Jr.'s season-ending surgery, Cousins took over under center and got his first start of the season on Sunday. He helped the Falcons to a 24-10 win over their divisional rival in his first start since last December.
