Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins failed to take his team to the playoffs in his first season with the team. It wasn’t all his fault, but he wasn’t able to meet expectations many set for him.
In 2019, Cousins thrived under an offense that had undergone a full-on system change. He led his team to the playoffs, then he helped win a postseason game against the Saints.
So why does Bleacher Report think Vikings fans should be excited for 2020? Cousins is entering year three, with a chance to be even better. Here’s what the outlet said about the Minnesota quarterback:
“If Cousins can take another positive step in his third season with the Vikings, Minnesota could emerge as a top contender in the NFC. There are reasons to believe that Cousins can take another step forward, which is likely why the Vikings were willing to extend his contract this offseason.”
If the Vikings are to emerge as an NFC contender, Cousins will likely be a big reason why. Minnesota needs him to improve even more now that the team has undergone a roster retooling. Vikings fans will find out what year three has in store for them soon enough.
