Kirk Cousins had done this before.
Well, maybe not the comeback from 28-14 in the fourth quarter as the QB for an eliminated team to knock off a division leader.
But the stats on this night for the Atlanta Falcons, amazingly, matched Cousins exactly.
Cousins finished with 373 passing yards and three touchdowns.
That specific line, 373-3, has happened three other times in NFL history.
The most recent time? Cousins in 2021.

That last Cousins game was a 34-28 overtime win by the Vikings, although in that one, they blew a lead rather than coming back like the Falcons did on Thursday night in a 29-28 win over the Buccaneers.
The Vikings went to overtime on that 2021 occasion, with a 27-yard pass from Cousins to K.J. Osborn walking it off.
Sam Darnold was the opposing QB that day.
Amazingly, there's one more notable crossover: The Panthers kicker in that last Cousins game was Zane Gonzalez. On Thursday night, Gonzalez kicked the winning field goal for Cousins' Falcons at the buzzer from 43 yards out.
