Going into the season, the Minnesota Vikings weren’t known as a team that could overcome large deficits. With Kirk Cousins at quarterback, there was a perception that he wasn’t the guy who could deliver in those situations.
This season has been a different story. Despite his stats being lower than the last four seasons, Cousins has been much more clutch this season, especially in terms of leading game-winning drives.
This season, Cousins leads the league in fourth-quarter comebacks with seven and has done so in truly impressive fashion. Not only does Cousins have the largest comeback in the history of the NFL at 33 points, he also holds a 17-point comeback victory at Buffalo and five total double-digit comebacks.
This rendition of the Vikings is different, and it all starts with QB1.
