Closing the Case for Kirk: Why the Vikings chose Cousins over Keenum
The Minnesota Vikings 2018 starting quarterback, Kirk Cousins, was chosen to lead the team over who is now the Broncos’ starting signal-caller, Case Keenum. Here’s a good argument why that decision was made.
Case Keenum played remarkably well for the Vikings in 2017 after being thrust into action after Sam Bradford’s early-season knee injury.
