The Giants face the Falcons in Atlanta on Sunday. We break down what the game means for the NFL playoff picture.

The full list of inactives for Sunday afternoon’s Week 16 game between the New York Giants and Atlanta Falcons have been released.

The Falcons drafted Washington standout Michael Penix Jr. in the first round, which was a surprise to Cousins. Penix, who was considered one of the more pro-ready quarterback prospects in the class, will make his first NFL start this Sunday against the New York Giants.

The Falcons could release or trade Kirk Cousins after benching him in favor of Michael Penix Jr. But they don’t really have to.

Kirk Cousins' divorce from the Falcons is expected to be finalized before his $10 million roster bonus is due March 17, with executives across the league fully expecting Atlanta to have to release him by then.
