Midway through the third quarter Sunday night, the Minnesota Vikings were again starring in a movie we've seen time and again.
You've probably been bombarded with the statistics, and you're likely aware of the reputation. The Kirk Cousins-quarterbacked Vikings can't win big games.
Entering Sunday's matchup with the NFC East-leading Dallas Cowboys, Cousins was 6-14 in his career in prime-time games, and 6-29 against opponents with winning records. Since signing Cousins last offseason, the Vikings were winless in eight road games against above-.500 teams. And with 22 minutes remaining in Dallas, they'd blown a 14-0 lead on Sunday Night Football.
