The Minnesota Vikings quarterback has been playing great since the team’s bye week.
Following his team’s loss to the Dallas Cowboys last week, all anyone wanted to talk about was how Kirk Cousins wasn’t able to lead the Minnesota Vikings to a come-from-behind victory.
Despite the Vikings defense giving up 31 points to the Cowboys, including 15 in the fourth quarter, there were some who wanted to put the loss on Cousins’ shoulders despite him throwing for 314 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions.
During Sunday’s crazy win over the Carolina Panthers, the Minnesota quarterback went out and did what his doubters said he couldn’t as he put the offense on his back and led the Vikings to an improbable last-minute victory to save their season.
