In a close game on Monday night, the Atlanta Falcons managed to defeat the struggling Las Vegas Raiders 15-9. Kirk Cousins threw his first touchdown pass in five weeks to secure the win for the Falcons, who snapped a four-game losing streak. The Raiders, on the other hand, lost their 10th consecutive game, tying them with the New York Giants for the worst record in the league.
Despite some doubts about his performance, Cousins held onto his starting quarterback position and helped lead the Falcons to victory. Desmond Ridder, filling in for the injured Aidan O’Connell, struggled to make a comeback for the Raiders, ultimately falling short as the Falcons defense held strong.
With this win, the Falcons remain in the hunt in the NFC South race, just one game behind the first-place Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Atlanta will face the New York Giants next, while the Raiders will host the Jacksonville Jaguars in their next game. This victory is crucial for the Falcons as they push for a playoff spot in the competitive NFC conference.
