Rather than attempt a sideline route that would have allowed a receiver to get out of bounds and stop the clock, Cousins found London for a 14-yard gain over the middle to set up a dramatic sprint to the line of scrimmage to stop the clock, which Atlanta did with two seconds remaining.

ATLANTA — Kirk Cousins has found his comfort zone with the Atlanta Falcons.

250 x 2 — Cousins passed for 253 yards in the first half and 256 in the second half, plus overtime. The Falcons cited research from OptaSTATS that showed Cousins to be the only quarterback in the Super Bowl era to throw for at least 250 yards in each half of a game.
