GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Were it not for their traditional postgame boom box churning out celebratory tunes, the Minnesota Vikings' postgame locker room at Lambeau Field would have been silent Sunday afternoon. Despite a 24-10 victory over the Green Bay Packers, players spoke to one another in hushed tones. Reporters gathered close to hear their emotional comments.

Ultimately, coach Kevin O'Connell said, "they know" the likely outcome of quarterback Kirk Cousins' right Achilles injury. Even as O'Connell spoke from a podium, ESPN's Adam Schefter was reporting that Cousins had suffered a torn Achilles tendon -- an injury that when confirmed by the team will end his season.
