Cousins' fifth overall player of the week award caps a November in which Cousins led the league in passer rating (124.3) while helping the Vikings to an NFC-best 4-1 record. His 115.7 rating in Sunday's 28-27 come-from-behind win was Cousins' fourth straight 100-plus rating, tying a franchise record.
