The Minnesota Vikings and Kirk Cousins got the last laugh on Sunday when the embattled signal-caller led his team to a huge home win over the Philadelphia Eagles. Cousins had been maligned often over the past two weeks, but the Eagles secondary seemed to be the remedy.
Earlier in the week, Cousins’ former teammate in Washington and current Eagles linebacker, Zach Brown, ripped the Vikings star, calling him Minnesota’s “weakest link” on offense.
Cousins responded, going 22 of 29, for 333 yards, four touchdowns, and one interception. Cousins averaged 11.5 yards per pass attempt, while Diggs and Thielen accounted 224 yards receiving and four touchdowns.
After the win, the Vikings social media team basked in the glory, trolling Brown’s statement on Twitter.
