What's behind issues for Kirk Cousins, NFL's most prolific fumbler

EAGAN, Minn. -- For all the ways the Minnesota Vikings' offense has improved with the addition of Kirk Cousins, there’s one glaring outlier causing concern.

Since becoming a starting quarterback for the Washington Redskins in 2015, Cousins leads the NFL in fumbles with 37, having lost 16, also a league-high, according to ESPN Stats & Information. It’s an issue that’s not just limited to his NFL career. As a senior at Michigan State in 2011, Cousins’ eight fumbles were tied for the second-most in the Big Ten.
