A great deal of press, pro and con, surrounded the mega-signing of quarterback Kirk Cousins to the 2018 Vikings’ offensive roster. For those who subscribed to the deal, Cousins has hardly disappointed in his numbers, but in regard to his team’s performance, there still sits a mixed-bag.
With the sudden death of the Tony Sparano, the Vikings’ offensive line coach, there was the harbinger of early misfortune for the 2018 Vikings. Within the same time frame, their reliable veteran guard Nick Easton was lost for the season, while 2017 starting center Pat Elflein was also missing, recovering from off-season shoulder surgery.
