Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins is officially receiving his third Pro Bowl nod as a replacement for injured Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
The how doesn’t matter as much as the achievement itself.
Even with hordes of naysayers standing on his doorstep, “Captain Kirk” still put together an efficient season with 4,221 passing yards, 33 touchdowns and only seven interceptions.
Granted, those numbers still didn’t stop the Vikings from finishing 8-9 and missing the playoffs for a second straight year.
