While the Minnesota Vikings pulled off a somewhat impressive win this past Sunday, toppling the then 4-7 Carolina Panthers by a score of 28-27, when the larger statistical picture of the season overall is analyzed, especially through the lens of quarterback Kirk Cousins, a much bleaker picture comes into focus.
Now, before getting into the negative, we must go back to week 10 of the NFL season, giving credit where credit is due. Back two weeks ago in mid-November, quarterback Kirk Cousins had a stellar game against the then 5-4 Chicago Bears, tossing 25/36 passes for 292 yards, two touchdowns, and only one interception in a 19-13 win.
