Saturday was a remarkable day for Vikings fans and Kirk Cousins’s fantasy managers—and frankly anyone with a Vikings’ player on their roster.
En route to clinching the NFC North, the quarterback threw four touchdowns for 486 yards (and two interceptions) as he led Minnesota to a historic comeback. The Vikes may have been down 33–0 at halftime and 36–7 with 4:53 remaining in the third quarter to the Colts, but as Indianapolis froze, Minnesota was just getting started.
The quarterback revealed that during halftime, cornerback Patrick Peterson said, “All we need is five touchdowns.” And they did just that.
