Kirk Cousins is a valuable, occasionally frustrating quarterback. But in the midst of what’s statistically been his worst season as a full-time starter, he’s the engine that’s pushed the Minnesota Vikings out to an 8-1 start.
His ups and downs were on full display Sunday. He threw two interceptions. He twice stumbled flat onto his back because his feet got tangled up with his own center’s after the snap. He got crushed by opposing pass rushes. He scored only one touchdown on drives that pushed inside the Buffalo red zone.
