Kirk Cousins named NFC Offensive Player of the Week

Kirk Cousins named NFC Offensive Player of the Week

At the age of 36, former Spartan and current Atlanta Falcons’ quarterback Kirk Cousins put up one of the best stat lines of his career, recording a franchise record 509 passing yards and four touchdowns, with just one interception, in a win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

For his efforts, Cousins was named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week. This the eighth time Cousins has won the award.

It’s always amazing to see Cousins doing so well in the NFL. He was amazing at Michigan State, but came in as a very unheralded recruit and earned himself a great career.
