Kirk Cousins playing in prime time is always a disaster waiting to happen, especially when the Minnesota Vikings would be without receiver Justin Jefferson for a second straight game.
However, the embattled Pro Bowl quarterback was clutch at U.S. Bank Stadium as the Vikings beat the San Francisco 49ers 22-17 on Monday Night Football. Despite throwing an interception on Minnesota’s third play of the game, Cousins finished 35-of-45 for 378 yards, two touchdowns, no sacks, and a 107.2 passer rating. Minnesota’s offense was even 8-13 on third downs — tied with the Chicago Bears for the highest conversion rate of Week 7.
Naturally Twitter was full of takes throughout the ballgame. Here are some interesting remarks.
