At this point last season Kirk Cousins was leading a Redskins squad that was out of playoff contention at 6-8. Cousins had thrown for 3,636 yards, 24 touchdowns and nine interceptions through 14 games.
Compare that to his numbers this year of 3,913 passing yards, 26 touchdowns and 10 interceptions, and you can see what he has meant to the Vikings offense.
But for Cousins, the most important thing is that he continues to find ways to improve as a player every week, and he said following the Vikings’ 41-17 victory over the Dolphins last weekend that he is still accomplishing that this season.
