Kirk Cousins and the Minnesota Vikings went against the Green Bay Packers, who were playing in a must-win game to stay alive in the playoff hunt. The Vikings were also on must-win mode as they were looking to get the No.1 seed in the NFC, but Cousins failed them horribly.
The 34-year-old quarterback has a reputation for not performing in any games that are not played at noon time and he lived up to it. The Packers on the other side were feeding on Cousins as they kept applying pressure on the veteran quarterback. The Packers dominated on all three sides of the game and looked like a completely different team than what they were on their week 1 matchup.
The Vikings’ defense could not control the Packers’ ground game led by running back Aaron Jones who rushed for 111 yards in 14 attempts. Green Bay QB had a quiet yet solid game as he threw for 159 yards and one touchdown with a 95.7 passer rating. But the main story of the game was Packers’ defense who registered 2 sacks and 3 INTs, including a pick-six and a fumble to blow out the AFC North division winners.
Kirk Cousins threw for 205 yards and one touchdown while completing just 58.1% of his passes. Along with that, he also threw three interceptions (One of them resulted in a pick-six) and could not connect with his star wide receiver Justin Jefferson at all as the latter just caught 1 pass for 15 yards the entire game. On top of that, he was viciously mocked with a griddy celebration by the Packers DB Jaire Alexander, who called Jefferson’s week 1 performance against the Packers a fluke.

Fans on social media obliterated Kirk Cousins for his abysmal performance against the Packers. Cousins failed to improve the Vikings’ chance at clinching the No.1 seed in the NFC playoffs picture.
For some reason, the Vikings’ veteran quarterback hasn’t performed well in the games that are not played at noon time. Fans took notice of it and brutally trolled him for his failures.

As for the packers, they are still alive in the playoff hunt after their victory against the Minnesota Vikings. They have to win their last game against Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions to confirm their Playoff spot.
