The Atlanta Falcons are back in the top-10 quarterback club, at least according to Madden. After a couple of player rankings that left fans confused, the football video game franchise has rewarded the team with its second top-10 positionally ranked player, designating Kirk Cousins as the 10th-best quarterback in the game with an 84 overall.

Cousins has often been viewed as a player teetering on the edge of being considered one of the 10 best at his position. However, with the wave of quarterback retirements in the last few years, plus Cousins's consistent play, being considered the 10th-best seems like a spot-on ranking heading into the 2024 season.
Kirk is coming off the most productive run of his career. The veteran quarterback hasn't had any setbacks during his Achilles recovery, so it makes sense that he is viewed so highly at this stage in his career.
Hopefully, Cousins can prove the Madden rankers right, and if he does, Atlanta will surely have playoff ability.
