Kirk Cousins Spreads Holiday Cheer in Christmas Suit After Falcons’ Victory
GLENDALE, Ariz. — After a hard-fought 26-19 victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday night, Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins embraced the holiday season in a memorable way. Donning a Christmas-themed suit adorned with branches, lights, and ornaments, Cousins brought a festive flair to the postgame press conference, delighting fans and reporters alike.
Cousins, who completed 21 of 35 passes for 197 yards and two touchdowns, credited his wife for the choice of attire. “She wanted this on,” Cousins said with a smile when asked if he was “a little jealous” of his own outfit. He also joked that he wouldn’t have worn the suit if the Falcons had left Glendale with a loss. “I have enough self-awareness to know that’s not the right decision,” he remarked.
The victory marked an important moment for Cousins, who reclaimed the Falcons’ starting quarterback role this season after Michael Penix Jr. suffered a season-ending injury. Cousins, who signed a four-year deal reportedly worth $180 million, faced challenges last year, including leading the league in interceptions. This season, he has appeared in eight games, starting six, and has accumulated 1,415 passing yards and eight touchdown passes.
“It has a weird feeling right now because any time you win in this league, you have to be grateful and happy about it,” Cousins reflected. “I think we all as professionals hold ourselves to a standard where we feel like there are plays for each one of us that could’ve been better – I feel that way.” He acknowledged the toughness of the Cardinals, noting, “Some of that’s a credit to Arizona. I thought they played really hard, made it hard and made it feel muddy.”
