That was a hallmark of Cousins throughout his time with the Vikings. His tenacity was commendable, despite the fact that he only produced a single playoff win. Now as he prepares to face his former team, Cousins has to pick himself up off the mat once again.

For six seasons, quarterback Kirk Cousins was the face of the Minnesota Vikings, and during that time, he made the Pro Bowl three times, and he could’ve been selected to the Pro Bowl once again last season had it not been for the torn Achilles he suffered.

The Vikings certainly have no ill will towards Cousins because he was extremely popular in the locker room before he left and was a strong and accurate passer. But if the Vikings had kept Cousins for another tour of duty, they would have had to give him a contract similar to the one he signed with the Falcons.
