The Minnesota Vikings have won two in a row after their bye week, increasing their current win streak to six. Over these two weeks, Kirk Cousins has 497 yards, four touchdowns and one interception giving him a 92.4 passer rating. He currently has the fourth-best IQR in the NFL, (121.0), according to Sports Info Solutions (this is a metric that measures the quarterback independently).
Cousins is playing some of the best ball of his career and having one of the best supporting casts in the NFL certainly helps. He’s currently T-1 the NFL in game-winning drives since 2021, with eight, and this year, he is tied in comeback wins with four.
Cousins has been able to deliver in close games, stay poised under pressure,l and most importantly, trust his receivers when it matters most. Now let’s throw on the All-22 and dive a little bit deeper into how Cousins is able to play as well as he has.
