As the Atlanta Falcons prepare for their game against the Los Angeles Chargers, they now have to keep another player in mind.

Kirk Cousins has completed 68.1 percent of his pass attempts for 2,807 yards, 17 touchdowns and nine interceptions. Since they have the head-to-head tiebreaker, the Falcons are essentially two games up on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for tops in the NFC South.

Shortly after the Atlanta Falcons selected quarterback Michael Penix Jr. via the eighth overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft, reporters and analysts noted that Atlanta could make Kirk Cousins available to other clubs following the ongoing season.

The Los Angeles Chargers are expected to be missing top running back J.K. Dobbins when they play the Atlanta Falcons in a matchup of teams trying to solidify their playoff hopes.

Several of the Falcons starters returned to practice Wednesday, according to the team’s official injury report.

From 2021 to 2023, the Falcons used multiple first-round picks on offensive weapons, drafting Kyle Pitts, Drake London and Bijan Robinson in consecutive years. Cousins has helped the team utilize these young playmakers in a way that Marcus Mariota, Taylor Heinicke and Desmond Ridder could not.

Los Angeles Chargers running back J.K Dobbins is unlikely to play this week against the Atlanta Falcons because of a knee injury.

The Los Angeles Chargers are fresh off a Monday night defeat at the hands of John Harbaugh and the Baltimore Ravens. Now, they get another bird team, the Atlanta Falcons in Week 13 as both teams look to maintain pace in their respective conference playoff races.

Atlanta Falcons coach Raheem Morris sported an optimistic tone on receiver Darnell Mooney's status for Sunday's game versus the Los Angeles Chargers.

It's been a disappointing season for the Dallas Cowboys this year as they enter their Week 13 matchup against the New York Giants with a 4-7 record. With quarterback Dak Prescott out with a season-ending injury (hamstring), Dallas has had to start Cooper Rush in his place.
