The Atlanta Falcons quarterback's wife, Julie Cousins, shared a short video on Instagram of their two sons watching him on the television. Their sons Cooper and Turner had their eyes glued, happily watching their dad.

Cousins gave his opinion on the matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and Houston Texans. He even did a segment where he broke down a film of how a quarterback could play against Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo's defensive scheme.

Kirk Cousins enjoyed his time with ESPN

Quarterback Kirk Cousins may have been demoted to backup at the end of the 2024 NFL season, but he's not giving up on his playing career yet. The quarterback shared that thought after spending Saturday with the ESPN broadcast crew.

After making his debut as an analyst, he shared photos of his experience at Arrowhead Stadium along with a group photo on Instagram. Cousins sat at the desk alongside Scott Van Pelt, Jason Kelce, Ryan Clark and Marcus Spears during the pregame show.

"Enjoyed getting to be a part of the NFL Countdown team today. What a great group of people! More left for me ON the field but enjoyed getting a taste of what they do each week to help make our league the best in the world," Cousins wrote on Instagram.

The Atlanta Falcons have stated they are comfortable with Cousins as Michael Penix Jr.'s backup. There is still some speculation that the quarterback could be traded.
