An NFL season includes lots of twists and turns for teams, but one thing the Vikings thought they could count on was quarterback Kirk Cousins staying healthy. After all, he has never missed a start due to injury in his 12-year NFL career.
Big Win in Green Bay Clouded by Cousins’ Achilles Injury
That will change next week in Atlanta after Cousins shockingly tore his Achilles tendon in the fourth quarter as he led the Vikings to their third straight win without Justin Jefferson, 24-10 on Sunday in Green Bay. It was the team’s fourth victory in five games as they’ve climbed to two games behind the Lions in the NFC North and currently hold the third wild card spot.
