Kirk Cousins Returns to Vikings Against Falcons

Kirk Cousins is set to return to Minnesota as the Atlanta Falcons face off against the Vikings, where he spent six seasons. Both Cousins and Vikings' players express mutual respect, with Cousins emphasizing gratitude for his time in Minnesota despite his recent struggles, including a poor game with four interceptions against the Chargers. The Vikings have found early success this season, boasting a 10-2 record with quarterback Sam Darnold at the helm, raising questions about the decision to let Cousins go. While Cousins ranks high in passing yards, he leads the league in interceptions and has not thrown a touchdown in the last three games. The matchup is highly anticipated, with the Vikings' defense likely prepared to challenge Cousins, who is dealing with both emotional and performance pressures. This weekend's game could further cement Minnesota's decision to move on from Cousins as they pursue an NFC North title.
