The Minnesota Vikings have to be excited to welcome a familiar face to U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. Kirk Cousins and his new Atlanta Falcons come into town with a 6-6 record and coming off three straight losses.
Despite their recent run, Brian Flores and the Vikings defense expect a good Falcons and Kirk Cousins on Sunday.
When speaking to the media on Tuesday, the Vikings defensive coordinator was asked about their former quarterback. Flores shared, “He’s played some good football, I think the people in this building know what Kirk can do.”
Flores was asked a follow-up question about Cousins’s coming off his worst game of the year, in which he threw four interceptions, and he gave a simple response.
“He’s a bounce-back type of guy, I’m expecting his best.”
Prior to their recent run, Cousins has thrown 13 touchdowns to three interceptions over his last five games for the Falcons. The Vikings will have their work cut out for them, have no doubt about it.
