Cousins' relationship with head coach allowing him to take chances, succeed

Kirk Cousins is tracking toward one of his worst seasons statistically as an NFL starting quarterback.

Forget analytics. Trust your eyes. Trust your ears. Trust your gut.

Cousins has never been more impactful in his Vikings tenure than this season. He has never looked more confident and at ease on the field, around teammates and in front of the media.

Interceptions don't derail him. He shrugs off mistakes and keeps making aggressive throws. He has responded repeatedly with a clutch throw or clutch drive when the moment requires him to be at his best.

His interactions with reporters no longer come across as corporate.
