Kirk Cousins is continuing to make the most out of his fifth season with the Minnesota Vikings.

Cousins entered the Vikings’ Week 16 home matchup against the New York Giants with 24 touchdown passes on the season. He tallied four passing touchdowns in Minnesota’s dramatic comeback victory over the Indianapolis Colts last week.

It took a while, but Cousins logged the 25th passing touchdown of his season in the Vikings’ third drive of Week 16. He anchored an eight-play, 84-yard drive that culminated in T.J. Hockenson hauling in a 12-yard touchdown catch.

With the keen throw to Hockenson in the first quarter, Cousins reached 25 passing touchdowns for the eighth straight year, and he opened up this streak in the 2015 campaign with the then-Washington Redskins. Overall, the four-time Pro Bowler became the fifth player in NFL history to orchestrate such a streak, joining the likes of Tom Brady and Peyton Manning.
