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.

When Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins walked off the field after Thursday night's 36-30 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he swag-surfed with the crowd, boasting the confidence of someone fresh off the most productive game of his 13-year career.

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.
