Kirk Cousins named NFC Offensive Player of the Week for second time this season

This is the ninth time Cousins has earned the honor

For the second time this season, and the ninth time in his career, former Michigan State star and current Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins has been named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week.

Cousins shredded the Falcons’ rivals, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, for 276 yards and four touchdowns. He also added 16 yards on the ground, something he’s definitely not known for, especially at this stage of his career.
