The Falcons are 2-2 after Sunday’s win over the Saints, but they aren’t quite winning the way anyone expected.

Signing Kirk Cousins ​​should boost the offense, but the Falcons didn’t score a touchdown on that side of the ball in a 26-24 win fueled by defense and special teams. They were able to drive for the winning field goal — a pass interference penalty on New Orleans provided the boost — but Cousins ​​made it clear the team isn’t happy with how things are going on that side of the ball.

“There are many things to repair. . . . It’s such a results-oriented competition. So getting a win is a big deal, but you never really stop going back and analyzing the performance and seeing how you can get better,” Cousins ​​said via the team’s website.

It’s always better to patch things up after a win than after a loss, so Cousins ​​and the Falcons can take solace in the fact that they’re 2-2 despite not being the kind of team they hoped to be in the first month of the season. .
