The Atlanta Falcons returned from their bye week to face the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Despite a promising start and an elite performance from Atlanta’s defense, the Falcons could not overcome Kirk Cousins’ four interceptions and lost, 17-13, to drop to 6-6 on the season.

The Falcons took their third consecutive loss, this time to the Chargers. Kirk Cousins, who deserves most of the blame, had his worst game.

The Los Angeles Chargers moved to 8-4 on the 2024 season after a close battle with the Atlanta Falcons. The Chargers pulled out a narrow 17-13 victory, one that was a defensive masterclass, as they forced Kirk Cousins to throw four interceptions on the day.
