The Minnesota Vikings had a bittersweet game on Sunday with a 24-10 win over the Green Bay Packers, but lost quarterback Kirk Cousins for the season with a torn Achilles tendon.
Jaren Hall took over for Cousins and played only 11 snaps but didn’t look like a disaster at the spot. He will be the likely starter on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons.
As a whole, the defense looked really stout, especially early on. They forced the Packers into three and outs on their first four drives and only 10 points.
The Pro Football Focus grades are in and were a little too critical of an impressive defensive performance.
