The Minnesota Vikings’ seven-game win streak came to an abrupt halt after an embarrassing 40-3 loss to the Dallas Cowboys last Sunday. This was their first loss since Week 2, when they lost 24-7 to the Philadelphia Eagles. Many were saying that this loss was foreseen, as the last seven of eight wins were all within eight points or less. Cousins has been able to pull it out in the end of games as he’s tied for first in the league with comeback wins with five.
Last week’s game was very much a blowout. Outside of the second drive of the game, which only ended in a field goal, the Vikings offense never even crossed the 50-yard line. Kirk Cousins was running for his life as he faced a 63% pressure rate from the Cowboys, and he took a season-high seven sacks.
