Show MoreFalcons QB Kirk Cousins 'disappointed' in debut loss to Steelers: 'Needed to play better'
here was a lot left to be desired from Kirk Cousins' Atlanta Falcons debut, an 18-10 loss at home to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Atlanta's prized offseason acquisition didn't exactly live up to the immediate expectations an $180 million contract might bring, finishing 16-of-26 passing for 155 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions, one of which thwarted a comeback attempt late in the fourth quarter.
