Cousins & Vikings Using OTA Practices to Focus on Situational Football

MENDOTA HEIGHTS, Minn. – Kirk Cousins isn’t looking too far ahead.

Earlier this month, the quarterback used the analogy of “eating an elephant one bite at a time,” and he’s sticking to it.

Cousins joined Vikings Owners, teammates, coaches and staff at Wednesday’s “Team Up to Give Back” volunteer event and, while there, spoke to Twin Cities media members. When asked by reporters how he’s able to manage high expectations, Cousins calmly responded that they “are what they are.”

“You can’t change them, can’t control them,” Cousins said.
