EAGAN, Minn. -- From the moment the NFL released its schedule, Week 14 seemed like a referendum for Kirk Cousins and the Minnesota Vikings. Cousins would be returning to U.S. Bank Stadium, where he played six seasons as the Vikings' quarterback, but this time with a new team. The homecoming would give everyone the platform to ask and answer some big questions.
Did Cousins make the right call in turning down an offer to re-sign with the Vikings in March, likely for one more season, to sign a four-year contract with the Atlanta Falcons worth $100 million in full guarantees? And would the Vikings regret letting him depart without having a potential successor on the roster?
