Given the Choice, Cousins Preferred Greed in Arizona

If you’re of the adamant opinion the Minnesota Vikings should’ve kept pushing the ball toward the Arizona Cardinals’ goal-line with less than a minute to go yesterday, you might have an unsung ally in your camp.

His name is Kirk Cousins.

Asked on Sunday about his thoughts of attempting a game-winning field goal – that ultimately missed and lost the game – Cousins replied to reporters: “I think you still want to get as many [yards] as you can, be greedy and get all you can, so that you’re not asking too much of somebody.”

In retrospect – the glory of Monday morning quarterbacking – the Vikings should have pounded down toward the endzone, scoffing at their situation on the 19-yardline.
