Quietly through two games and then loudly versus the Seattle Seahawks, quarterback Kirk Cousins has become the best football player on the Minnesota Vikings through three weeks.
On the whole, he isn’t as good as, for example, Danielle Hunter or Eric Kendricks. But his recent thumbprints on football games have unilaterally kept the team afloat amid some defensive struggles. In three contests, Cousins dimed eight touchdowns, no interceptions, and lost no fumbles. Regrettably, the Vikings only have one measly win to show for it because a shady running back fumble and outrageous missed field goal disqualified victory aspirations in Weeks 1 and 2.
