The drive that the entire NFL world is talking about began with 1:39 left in the game and no timeouts on Monday night, one that nobody thought Kirk Cousins was capable of after his first seven quarters of play with the Falcons.
It was a near-perfect drive. Cousins led the Falcons 70 yards, completing 5 of 6 passes for all 70 yards, including the game-winning touchdown to Drake London. He began with an 11-yard completion to Kyle Pitts, followed by a pair of 20+ yard throws to Darnell Mooney. London caught the final two, and the Falcons took the lead late.
It was a masterful job by Cousins, and the greatest quarterback in franchise history was looking on with the Manning brothers via the Monday Night Football Manning Cast. The video below is Matt Ryan watching on as Cousins leads the Falcons to their eventual game-winning touchdown.

Matt Ryan still loves this organization, and you can see the nerves on his face, just like the rest of us. He was right there in the heat of battle with Falcons fans. It’s an awesome video if you can tune out Peyton and Eli Manning, just watch Matty Ice.
