The Minnesota Vikings entered Sunday’s game against the Carolina Panthers and things didn’t start well at all.
Two plays after a touchdown to Justin Jefferson got called back due to a holding penalty on Josh Oliver, quarterback Kirk Cousins threw a 100-yard pick-six to Sam Franklin after staring down K.J. Osborn and being over a second late.
Buy Vikings TicketsSAM FRANKLIN PICK SIX 💥
His first career INT goes 99 yards for a TD 😮💨

This is inexcusable by the veteran quarterback, and his indecisiveness has been a major issue so far this season. Twitter was furious with Cousins and let him have it.
We really need to stop this agenda of Kirk Cousins being good. Justin Jefferson deserves so much better. If they lose this week tank for Caleb man

I can't remember Kirk Cousins throwing 3 INTs near the goal line during his entire time as a Viking and he's done it in 3 of 4 games now…. crazy

Hard to come up with a worse play for a QB than throwing an interception at the goal line, sprinting back 90 yards to try to make the tackle yourself and then getting absolutely blown up by a blocker. Kirk Cousins!
