Cousins revealed in a postgame media conference that he could not hear the call in his helmet. However, when asked whether he has the autonomy to make a judgment call like spiking the ball, he admitted he has full control over the situation but said he leans toward not “taking the reigns.”
“I mean I could do anything I want. I can do the quarterback sneak. I can do whatever I want, but at the same time you also have to deal with the consequences. Against Buffalo last year I snuck it on my own and didn’t get in,” Cousins said, harkening back to a failed quarterback sneak that he called in last season’s thriller over the Bills. “So until you know the future, it’s hard to know whether to take the reins or not, but I’ve done it before. I try not to make a habit of it, certainly.”
