Entering the Vikings' Week 2 road trip to Philadelphia for a Monday night game, Kirk Cousins is coming off an efficient performance in the Vikings' decisive win over the Packers, after which his head coach praised the quarterback's assertiveness on a couple of the Vikings' biggest plays.
Cousins' oft-discussed "Monday Night Football" record didn't come up once during his news conference on Thursday, given the fact he has been the winning quarterback in his last two Monday night games. Instead, the topic about which Cousins talked the most animatedly was head coach Kevin O'Connell allowing Justin Jefferson to pour green slime on his head after Nickelodeon honored Jefferson for his 184-yard, two-TD performance on Sunday.
