The Atlanta Falcons haven't had internal discussions about benching starting quarterback Kirk Cousins for backup rookie Michael Penix Jr., per Dianna

Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris discussed handling outside noise amid calls for Michael Penix Jr. to replace Kirk Cousins as the starting quarterback.

The Falcons are 0-3 in that stretch as a result, dropping a close game to the archrival New Orleans Saints, getting blown out by the Denver Broncos and most recently falling at home to the Los Angeles Chargers because of a 4-pick Cousins game. A bye week is tucked in between Denver and L.A.
