MINNEAPOLIS -- With a simple shovel pass, quarterback Kirk Cousins continued a blazing start to the Minnesota Vikings' game Sunday against the Chicago Bears.
Cousins' 1-yard touchdown pass to receiver Jalen Reagor was Cousins' 17th consecutive completion to open the game. Overall, it was his 19th consecutive completion, counting his final two passes in a Week 4 victory over the New Orleans Saints.
Cousins broke Tommy Kramer's team record of 16 consecutive completions, set in 1979. Of his first 17 completions Sunday, eight went to receiver Justin Jefferson for 122 yards.
