After throwing for 405 yards and three touchdowns in the Vikings’ Week 17 win over the Lions, Kirk Cousins was named the NFC’s Offensive Player of the Week.

Overall, Cousins’ numbers in 2020 were impressive. He threw for 4,265 yards and a career-high 35 touchdowns.

However, the Vikings won just seven games and missed the playoffs for the second time in three seasons.

It’s the sixth time Cousins has won the award and the second during his time with the Vikings. He also won the award in Week 12 this season against the Panthers.
