Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins had as many misses as makes against the Chiefs

A day after the Vikings’ 26-23 loss to the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium, Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said he’s not overly concerned with quarterback Kirk Cousins after a handful of off-target throws cost the Vikings chances to sustain drives.

Cousins threw three touchdowns without a turnover and passed for 220 yards, but completed only 19 of his 38 passes and finished with his second-lowest completion percentage of the season (behind his 43.8% rate in a Week 2 loss to the Packers). The quarterback gave a lengthy explanation for his misfires after the game, saying he needed to do a better job of putting his body in the right position to hit his target.
