After investing heavily in the quarterback position during the offseason, the Atlanta Falcons are sitting pretty atop the NFC South with a 6-4 record. Quarterback Kirk Cousins, who left Minnesota to sign a four-year, $180 million deal in Atlanta, has been worth every penny thus far.

The 5-5 Denver Broncos are set to face off against a particularly beat-up 36-year-old quarterback when they host the 6-4 Atlanta Falcons at Empower Field on Sunday. Per the Falcons, QB Kirk Cousins was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report — the team conducted a walkthrough — due to right (throwing) shoulder and elbow injuries.

Atlanta Falcons safety Justin Simmons is trying to take Sunday's game at Denver in stride as he faces his former team.

Justin Simmons heads back to Denver this weekend, the place he called home for eight seasons. The Falcons safety, whom the Broncos cut in the offseason, said he harbors no ill will for his former club.

The Denver Broncos seek to snap a two-game losing streak and get back to above .500 on Sunday when the Atlanta Falcons visit Empower Field at Mile High.
