Vikings' Kirk Cousins navigates consistent pressure with improved pocket presence

Vikings 600227581

The quarterback has made plays during this 8-1 season with his feet and by throwing into tight spots.

VIkings quarterback Kirk Cousins has been pressured on 137 of his dropbacks — the third-most in the league, but he’s been sacked only 14.6% of the time.

The Vikings started their final drive of regulation against the Buffalo Bills from their own 24-yard line on Sunday, down by four points and hoping to complete a fourth-quarter comeback with 3:26 to go.

Kirk Cousins dropped back on first down, stepping to his right as Brian O'Neill steered Von Miller's bull rush to the quarterback's left.
