Kirk Cousins gets monkey off back with clutch OT win
by Zachary Hanshew | Falcons Correspondent | Sun, Jan 5th 5:32pm EST
Kirk Cousins completed 19 of 31 pass attempts for 242 yards and a touchdown, losing one yard on two carries in the Vikings’ 26-20 overtime victory over the Saints on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact:
After a long season of listening to the football community disparage him for failing to come through in the biggest moments, Cousins led Minnesota to an overtime victory with a touchdown drive on the opening possession of the final frame. The highlight came on a 43-yard pass to Adam Thielen that was dropped in beautifully. Three plays later, Cousins hit Kyle Rudolph on a back-shoulder fade for the game-winning score. He’ll move on to the Divisional Round next week with momentum on his side. “You like that?”
