If you were out doing yard work during the first half of the Vikings and Broncos game on Sunday, good job by you.
Hopefully you didn’t miss the second half, though.
The Vikings came back from a 20-0 halftime deficit and beat the Broncos 27-23 on the shoulders of quarterback Kirk Cousins.
Cousins threw for 319 yards and three touchdowns in the win – 261 of those yards and all three touchdowns came in the second half when Minnesota had its back against the wall.
There will be the Cousins haters out there surely, claiming that the Vikings should have never been down by 20 in the first place. But after a primetime win last week and a comeback win on Sunday, you have to feel pretty good about Cousins if you’re a Vikings fan. And he’s done this without his top receiver, Adam Thielen, in the lineup.

On the season, Cousins has thrown for 2,756 yards, 21 touchdowns and just three interceptions. That puts him on pace for 4,008 yards and 30 touchdowns. More importantly, he has the Vikings out to an 8-3 record going into their Week 12 bye week.
