Minnesota Vikings 19, Chicago Bears 13

1) Famously winless on Monday Night Football, Kirk Cousins made one of the worst decisions he’s ever made late in the second quarter. No, it wasn’t on an interception to Khalil Mack – after all, Mack essentially pick-pocketed Adam Thielen more so than picking off Cousins. It came at the end of the play when Mack was drifting out of bounds and Cousins decided to lower his shoulder into Mack, who kindly lowered his and remained standing, while Cousins did not. But at the end of the night, for the first time in his career, Cousins was standing tall on a Monday evening. For whatever reason, the football gods frowned down upon Cousins as he began his career 0-9 on Monday nights, but that monkey has been removed from the Vikings QB’s back. Against an excellent Bears defensive effort, Cousins was efficient to the tune of 292 yards, two scores, just the one turnover and tallied a 100.7 QB rating. In comparison to the Bears’ offensive output, Cousins and his charges looked phenomenal. And, frankly, against such a spirited defensive effort, they might well have been. For all the credit — and most deservedly so — that Dalvin Cook gets, Cousins is and has to be a big part of the Vikings (4-5) roaring back into relevance with a third-straight win.
