Daily Norseman on Kirk Cousins

Cousins reunites with Jefferson, Addison, Hockenson; elite defense provides insurance for playoff run.

Cousins returns to the Vikings to throw to Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, and T.J. Hockenson again after his stint with the Raiders. The source argues that with Cousins' performance level (2nd in passing TDs, 5th in yards, 9th in EPA per dropback) and Brian Flores' elite defense (1st in points allowed, 2nd in yards allowed), the Vikings would be 8-0 if not for their previous offensive struggles. The expectation is that Cousins needs only to be good; the defense provides insurance.
