The Minnesota Vikings’ miraculous playoff run ended after pulling off an upset over the New Orleans Saints in the Wild Card round.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins earned his second Pro Bowl invite in 2019, but the 2019-20 NFL season was far from the cheery end note for the 31-year-old Michigan State product.

After losing to the San Francisco 49ers, the Minnesota Vikings are out of the playoffs. The offseason is among them. The change will surely come, but not to one position. As expected, the Vikings will bring back Kirk Cousins for the third year of his $84 million contract. That should come as no surprise, considering […]

Kirk Cousins doesn’t like that. Richard Sherman likes that. Midway through third quarter of the San Francisco 49ers’ drubbing of the Minnesota Vikings in the divisional round, Richard made his mark on the postseason again. Sherman intercepted Cousins third-and-9 while covering receiver Adam Thielen. After doing so, he pulled off Cousin’s signature “you like that!” […]

As the San Francisco 49ers look to advance to the NFC Championship Game for the first time in six years, Richard Sherman just pulled off a throwback.

TO. THE. HOUSE.@StefonDiggs stays on his feet for the […]

The Minnesota Vikings remain in the playoffs and a huge reason why is because of the play of Kirk Cousins. Considering how he began his career, it’s interesting to see how he’s evolved as a quarterback in the NFL. Back in 2012, the Washington Redskins surrendered a ton of draft capital to move up to […]

The Minnesota Vikings have never won a Super Bowl and they haven’t made it to one since the 1976-77 campaign. So needless to say, it has been quite the drought in the Land of 10,000 Lakes. The Vikings’ playoff run has gotten off to a good start this year, as they upset the New Orleans […]

The San Francisco 49ers are easy favorites to win over the Minnesota Vikings on Saturday.

Kirk Cousins is finally doing it when it matters most. In Sunday’s 26-20 Wild Card win over the New Orleans Saints, the much-maligned Minnesota Vikings quarterback drilled a 43-yard pass to Adam Thielen in overtime to set up the game-winning touchdown, a toss to tight end Kyle Rudolph. The Cousins-to-Thielen connection was eerily similar to […]

Being selected to the NFL Pro Bowl is an outstanding accomplishment. Players who perform the best during a given season should be rewarded with the nod.
