Monday night’s thrilling upset victory over the mighty San Francisco 49ers was likely the best game of Kirk Cousins’ 12-year NFL career. The Vikings quarterback led his team to an impressive 27-24 win over the 49ers, a team that has been one of the league’s best over the past few years.
Former Vikings General Manager Rick Spielman said that Cousins had a career-best performance on Monday night. “Kirk Cousins was absolutely outstanding,” Spielman said. “I think this was the best game of his 12-year NFL career. He was extremely accurate, made great decisions, and managed the game very well.”
The Vikings offense was led by Cousins, who completed 26-of-37 passes for 337 yards and three touchdowns. He also ran for a touchdown and was named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week for his efforts.
Cousins was able to get the ball out quickly and accurately, and his receivers were able to make plays downfield. He was able to find holes in the 49ers’ secondary, and his receivers were able to take advantage. He also spread the ball around, finding nine different receivers.
The Vikings defense also stepped up, as they held the 49ers to just 24 points. The Vikings were able to force three turnovers, including two interceptions by safety Harrison Smith. The Vikings also forced two key fourth-down stops, which helped seal the win.
The Vikings have now won three straight games, and are in the thick of the playoff race. Cousins has been a big reason for the team’s success, and his performance on Monday night was a big reason why the Vikings were able to get the win.
The Vikings have a tough schedule ahead of them, but Cousins has shown that he can lead the team to victory. He has been one of the most consistent quarterbacks in the league, and his performance on Monday night was a testament to that.
If the Vikings are to make a run at the playoffs, Cousins will need to continue to play at a high level. He has already proven that he can lead the team to victory, and his performance on Monday night was a great example of that.
The Vikings have a lot of tough games ahead of them, but if Cousins can continue to play at a high level, they will have a great chance to make the playoffs. His performance on Monday night was a great start and a sign of things to come.
