00:00The Kirk Cousins era. It did not look good against former Falcons head coach.
00:08Now new offensive coordinator in Pittsburgh, Arthur Smith with a
00:12quarterback nobody expected to start in Justin Fields as Russell Wilson is
00:17dealing with a calf injury. Fields pretty good 17 of 23, 156 yards, 57 on the
00:25ground. No the Steelers did not score an offensive touchdown but they still win
00:29the football game in the ATL 18 to 10 outright as a four and a half point
00:35underdog. Total of 42 and a half of course stays under. Donnie I thought the
00:40Falcons would be a team and they still might once Kirk Cousins figures it out.
00:44Let's not forget he also tore his Achilles last year at the age of 36 and
00:48is trying to come back in a new arena for Atlanta but the Falcons stay well
00:55under this number and we'll show you the stats of Kirk Cousins because that is
00:59the story. 16 of 26, 155 yards, touchdown and two interceptions including a
01:07costly interception where Atlanta was down by just five. Single-score game
01:12driving into Steelers territory under three minutes remaining and Kirk throws
01:17his second pick of the game. Yeah looking at the game yesterday I
01:20actually thought Atlanta would win but no way I was gonna lay the four and a
01:23half. I actually figured it'd be like a 24-21 game either way but I thought the
01:26Falcons would be better. This is so like this Steelers game is just gonna be a
01:30microcosm of the season because I know if you're a Steelers fan everybody loves
01:34to win opening day and you're hoping that it can continue but the simple
01:37fact of the matter is this is the way they're gonna have to win football games
01:40not doing all that much on offense relying on TJ Watt the absolute beast
01:45from the outside linebacker position he was once again yes with multiple plays
01:49just crushing the pocket turnovers you guessed it he was the superstar
01:53yesterday but if we're focused on Justin Fields he did what he needed to
01:56do 17 of 23 for 156 that's Justin Fields Justin Fields last year if you
02:02remember the Chicago Bears the past maybe two years hey what's his passing
02:05prop 135 and a half and you laugh at that and he's still doing that to this
02:09day but they're still winning football games here 1 and 0 for Pittsburgh it
02:12makes no sense but also you got Kirk Cousins and I looked at last year Ben
02:16with the Atlanta Falcons and it was simple to me give me a competent
02:19quarterback at least in the regular season that team is good enough on
02:22defense and offense and has the weapons I just need to make the common throw and
02:25you win a lot of games Kirk Cousins was terrible yesterday not gonna go back and
02:29watch the complete game altogether but some of the plays that he was making
02:33throws that a rookie shouldn't make there's something to be said Ben about
02:37going deep in one-on-one coverage and getting intercepted because the defender
02:40made a great play on it you can live that and fight another day but when
02:43you're throwing footballs into two and three guys where it has no chance to get
02:47to your wide receiver you're basically gonna have a losing scenario and you got
02:50that yesterday this was a team better than the Pittsburgh Steelers but the
02:54Pittsburgh Steelers performance was let's not turn the football over let's
02:57play great defense and see what happens and it turned out to be a win for
