Not only are the Minnesota Vikings (11-3) the NFC North champions, but they are now aligned with largest comeback in NFL history. Coming back from a 30-0 deficit in the first half, lead by QB Kirk Cousins.
Despite an embarrassing start to the game against the Indianapolis Colts (4-9-1), the Vikings scored 36-3 for the remainder of the game, including the last-second field goal in overtime.
A dramatic game that once again saw QB Matt Ryan on the losing end of a large deficit comeback defeat. This time, at the hands of Cousins and the Vikings potent offense.
After his strong performance in orchestrating the 33-point comeback, Cousins is this week's NFC Offensive Player of the Week.
Completing 35/54 passes (63%) for 460 yards and four touchdowns. The bulk of which came from WRs Justin Jefferson, in a record-setting pursuit, and K.J. Osborne.
On the year, Cousins is on pace for the second-most yards and another 30 touchdown season. This honor being yet another highlight from what may be Cousins' most complete season as the Minnesota Vikings signal caller.
This is his second-straight 400+ yard passing game with 10 touchdowns coming in the last four games. Beating the Colts is only the most recent of strong outings from Cousins and the Vikings.
If Cousins can continue these strong performances into the playoffs, the Vikings will stay a real threat in the AFC.
