As the nation gets ready to observe the Super Bowl this upcoming Sunday, Atlanta Falcons Quarterback Kirk Cousins, along with his friend and former NFL teammate Mack brown, have something to say not just about football but about their faith and friendship.

Brown and Cousins are connected as friends along with their opinion on who will win the Super Bowl this year, with them both saying the Chiefs. However, it’s their Faith that connects them most.

“I just came to training camp, and I remember Kirk just took the starting job and being the undrafted free agent. I remember being in the locker room and hitting it off with Kirk from the moment he called out my name,” says Mack Brown, who played with Kirk for the Washington Commanders.

For Brown, connecting with Kirk was instrumental because he was at the lowest point of his life in dealing with personal injury and uncertainty in his career in football. In a sit-down interview with Crosswalk, Mack Brown and Kirk Cousins open up about their Faith, Friendship, and relationship with football.
