The Minnesota Vikings have a lot of great things going for them this year. Through two weeks, the team has the NFL’s leading rusher in Dalvin Cook, have a defense that is making plays holding teams on third down, and plenty of star power in every phase of the game.
Weirdly enough, the one place they haven’t been getting much production is from the quarterback position. Week 1 was okay for Kirk Cousins, who only threw the ball ten times en route to a win over the Atlanta Falcons. This set forth the narrative from several sports news outlets that using the quarterback as little as possible was the team’s recipe for success.
