In between gulps of the revelatory mood that swept over the state — and even extended to his commute home — following the Vikings' 34-31 win over the Packers on Sunday, Kirk Cousins paused to consider whether he needs to make some fine adjustments to the bombs-away mentality that helped him answer Aaron Rodgers.
Cousins threw for 341 yards in the win, hitting Justin Jefferson for gains of 56 and 43 while drawing a 37-yard pass interference penalty from Darnell Savage on a deep ball to the receiver. It augmented the aggressive approach the Vikings used the previous week against the Chargers, when Jefferson surpassed 100 yards thanks to a couple of 27-yard jump balls along the sideline, and was likely necessary on Sunday as the Vikings tried to answer three second-half touchdown passes from Rodgers.
