Kirk Cousins came to the Minnesota Vikings last March and thanks to his fully-guaranteed contract, the expectations set by the team’s fans were sky high when he first put on a purple jersey this year.
While some fans may bicker about the contract and Cousins’ tendency to run hot and cold, the veteran quarterback has done his job statistically. On Sunday, he surpassed the 4,000 yard mark for the fourth-straight year and he set the franchise record for completions in a single season during the Vikings’ 27-9 victory over the Detroit Lions.
