Kirk Cousins floats fourth-down pass for Vikings’ TD

Kirk Cousins gives the Vikings the lead over the Chargers with a fourth-down pass

Kirk Cousins will be able to tell everyone one day he threw a dart on fourth down for a touchdown pass to Tyler Conklin. Part of that will be true.

The Vikings’ veteran quarterback floated a pass into the end zone in the third quarter Sunday, and thanks to some friendly fire between Los Angeles Chargers defensive players in the end zone, the tight end was able to come down it for six points.

Sometimes it is far better to be lucky than to be pretty.

Conklin had 2 catches for 6 total yards at that point, both for TDs.
