MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Kirk Cousins is heading to his third Pro Bowl, the second as a member of the Minnesota Vikings.
The team announced Monday Cousins is replacing Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers, who won’t play in the game due to injury.
Cousins completed 66.3% of his passes this season for 4,221 yards, 33 touchdowns and seven interceptions. The touchdowns were the second-most of his career.
The Vikings went 8-9 and missed the playoffs, leading to the firing of head coach Mike Zimmer and general manager Rick Spielman.
