MINNEAPOLIS -- Throughout the best NFL season he has been a part of since he came into the league in 2012, Kirk Cousins keeps saying the strangest thing: He insists he's not playing well. The mantra began in September and it reached an apex Thursday night after the Minnesota Vikings quarterback finished one of the most efficient games ever against a New England Patriots defense under coach Bill Belichick.
Cousins completed 30 of 37 passes for 299 yards three touchdowns, and compiling a season-high 84.8 Total Quarterback Rating in a 33-26 win.
