Offensive MVP

Kirk Cousins, QB

What a difference a week makes. Last week, Kirk Cousins looked like a bit of a lost puppy on the football field, making some bad decisions and forcing the ball into places when feeling pressure all around him.

With a little more time in the pocket and his receivers running great routes and showing excellent hands, Cousins completed 29 of his 38 passing attempts on the day (76.3%) for 342 yards and three touchdowns on the day.

Even more impressive is that Cousins didn’t throw an interception or fumble the ball for the first time since Week 1 of the season when the Vikings put on an impressive display against the San Francisco 49ers.
