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.

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.
