Minnesota hired a new offensive coordinator this offseason, but Bleacher Report expects Kirk Cousins to pick up right where he left off last year.
Gary Kubiak, the new offensive coordinator, will presumably not change the offense too much. Cousins threw for 3,603 yards, 26 touchdowns and six interceptions in 2019.
Bleacher Report predicted Cousins to throw for 3,729 yards, 24 touchdowns and eight interceptions in 2020. Here’s what the outlet said about the projection:
“The Vikings traded wide receiver Stefon Diggs, which deals a hit to the passing game. Rookie first-rounder Justin Jefferson has great potential, but he’ll need to build chemistry with Cousins during a unique offseason that’s going fully virtual through May because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The Vikings had a solid 2019 campaign and recorded the third-fewest pass attempts. We’ll probably see more of the same from this offense and similar passing numbers for Cousins.”
