The shining example of how much different things are this season for Kirk Cousins occurred Sunday, but it wasn’t on the turf at FedEx Field or in the visiting locker room following the Vikings’ come-from-behind 20-17 victory over the Washington Commanders.
Instead, it happened approximately 35,000 feet in the air as the Vikings’ charter flight made its way home. There it was, captured by teammates on their cell phones: A shirtless Cousins, glasses on, pumping his arms up and down with a plethora of bling hanging around his neck as several Vikings danced with him in the aisle of the airplane. The joy on Cousins’ face was obvious as he looked into one of the cameras and cracked a wide smile.
