Despite the four turnovers, Atlanta still had a chance to win, which is a testament to how well the defense played. With the loss, the Falcons are 6-6 and clinging to a slim division lead by way of tiebreaker. Kirk Cousins played his worst game of the season at the worst possible time.

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.

Tarheeb Still had two interceptions, running one back 61 yards for a touchdown and Ladd McConkey set a team rookie receiving record in the 17-13 victory in Atlanta.
