EAGAN, Minn. -- Kirk Cousins' debut for the Minnesota Vikings was a tale of two halves. The first in which he looked dominant, displaying pocket awareness on his way to completing 14-of-20 passes for 165 yards and a touchdown.
The second half was littered with ups and downs. The good: An 11-yard touchdown to Kyle Rudolph midway through the third quarter. The bad: Cousins opened the fourth quarter with a near interception and didn't complete a pass in the final 15 minutes of play.
Cousins going 0-for-7 in the last quarter allowed the San Francisco 49ers to come back in the game.
