The Minnesota Vikings took down the mighty San Francisco 49ers in their recent meeting on Monday Night Football.
This victory was a massive one for the Vikings, who came into this matchup with a 2-4 record and were home underdogs.
One of the biggest reasons they were able to win this game was due to Kirk Cousins’ big game.
While Cousins has historically folded under the pressure of primetime games, he stayed calm and collected throughout this contest.
Cousins receives mixed reviews every week from analysts across the country.
During this game, however, he received nothing but positive feedback, including a bold statement from Troy Aikman.
According to Adam Schefter, Aikman said that Cousins “is a top 10 quarterback in my book.”

This stirred the pot on social media, as fans reacted strongly to what Aikman had to say about Cousins.
He finished the game with 378 yards and two touchdowns, adding in an interception.
The 49ers might have one of the NFL’s top defenses, and the Vikings might have been overlooked heading into this matchup.
Whether fans like it or not, Cousins sliced and diced his way through the 49ers throughout this game, completing 77% of his passes.
This game not only turned out in the Vikings’ favor, but it might have silenced Cousins’ debaters for the time being as well.
The Vikings are now 3-4 heading into a stretch of games that they will be likely favorites in.
Their next four opponents are the Green Bay Packers, Atlanta Falcons, New Orleans Saints, and Denver Broncos.
If they are able to take care of business against these teams, the Vikings could find themselves back in the playoff hunt.
