MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — After early season struggles, Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins is now October’s NFC Offensive Player of the Month.
Cousins finished the month 91-of-116 (78.4%) for 1,262 yards, 10 touchdowns, one interception and a passer rating of 137.1 in the team’s 4-game winning streak.
The Michigan native’s 78.4 completion percentage leads the NFL and his 10 passing touchdowns is tied for the league lead.
“(Cousins’) 137.1 passer rating in October marked the second-highest passer rating in any month in NFL history (minimum 100 attempts), trailing only Peyton Manning’s 138.0 passer rating in September of 2013,” the team said in a statement.
