Kirk Cousins #18 of the Atlanta Falcons looks on against the Minnesota Vikings

The Atlanta Falcons are turning on Kirk Cousins after he failed to turn around one of the poorest runs of his career against his former team, the Minnesota Vikings.

Cousins has not thrown a touchdown in four consecutive games, the longest drought of his career as a starter, and also leads the NFL with 15 interceptions.

The 36-year-old quarterback is slated to play the Las Vegas Raiders in primetime as part of a twin bill on Monday night alongside the Vikings and Chicago Bears game.

While the Sam Darnold-led Vikings will vie for a playoff spot, Cousins will be playing for his job and future in Atlanta at the same time.

NFL insider Jordan Schultz reported on December 13 that while external frustration has mounted for weeks, even some of Cousins’ teammates have run out of patience and are ready for rookie Michael Penix Jr. to take over.

“I truly believe the only reason that they haven’t gone to Michael Penix Jr. yet is because of optics. Because, the Falcons gave Kirk Cousins $100 million guaranteed. I have had players inside that locker room tell me, point blank, Michael Penix Jr. is the best quarterback in this building,” Schultz said on Fox Sports’ “Speak.”

A month ago, the Falcons had sole lead in the NFC South and were a favorite to make the playoffs. But after losing four straight games, Atlanta only has a 34% chance of making the postseason, per The Athletic.

A loss on Monday would slash the Falcons’ chances to just 15%.

“If they lose, and continue this free fall… there is absolutely no way they cannot go to the rookie,” Schyltz added.
