We know what the absence of Kirk Cousins on Sunday is going to do to the Minnesota Vikings’ playoff chances. . .render them just about non-existent. However, Cousins’ absence on Sunday night will ensure that a streak that probably isn’t exactly one to be proud of is going to continue.
With Cousins not being able to take the field on Sunday night in Green Bay, it means that the Vikings will continue their long. . .loooooooooooooooooong. . .streak of not having a quarterback start all of their regular-season games in consecutive seasons. The streak goes back to the 1972 and 1973 seasons, when Fran Tarkenton started every game for Minnesota.
