When the Minnesota Vikings hired head coach Kevin O’Connell last offseason, the expectation was that he’d bring an offensive scheme that would allow quarterback Kirk Cousins to thrive. O’Connell did just that and elevated the skill-position players on the team.
Through 17 regular-season games, Cousins finished with a career-high 643 pass attempts. Those pass attempts and receptions are records for the Vikings, who became the ninth team in NFL history to have four players get 60 or more receptions in a season.
