The Atlanta Falcons and New Orleans Saints will add another chapter to their rivalry Sunday -- the Falcons' first with Kirk Cousins at quarterback.
As a member of the now-Washington Commanders from 2012-17, Cousins knew the Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants were "big, big-time rivals" -- but Washington's matchups with the Dallas Cowboys simply mattered a little bit more.
"Here, I just get the sense that that's the Saints," Cousins said. "It's a great challenge for us. We take that challenge seriously and it'll be a great opportunity."The 36-year-old Cousins will make his first start in the long-running rivalry at 1 p.m. Sunday, when the Falcons host the Saints inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
"If I would be out in public in April, May -- I mean, they made it clear," Cousins said. "They take the S off of the team name. So, it's a big deal, and we want to deliver for our fans."
