Cousins has miserable performance in Vikings dud
At one point in the second half Sunday, Kirk Cousins' passer rating stood at 1.8, and he somehow managed to go lower. Yes, it was that bad.
Yep, Cousins accomplished the nearly impossible. He pulled a Blutarsky after three quarters.
0.0.
It was that kind of day for Cousins and the Vikings overall.
This is a bad team right now. Really bad.
Offense, defense, special teams, coaching. All of it.
So bad that the Indianapolis Colts dominated the Vikings in every way possible to win 28-11 at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Fresh off a contract extension this offseason worth $96 million, Cousins looks lost in guiding an offense that was expected to be better than what has been put on display in back-to-back losses to begin the season.
Cousins threw three interceptions Sunday – two on deep passes hoping for a miracle and off a deflection on a ball thrown behind Bisi Johnson on slant. He also had a safety on a sack in the end zone for the second consecutive game.
Cousins completed only 11 of 26 passes for 113 yards. He finished with a 15.9 rating for one of the worst performances by a Vikings quarterback in team history in terms of final rating.
Mike Conley was in Minneapolis, where he sounded the Gjallarhorn at the Vikings game, on Sunday during the robbery.
