Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with Monday Night Football, where Kirk Cousins and the Falcons were gifted a chance that they took full advantage of in rallying to defeat the Eagles 22-21. Before Cousins’ final TD drive, he had played a steady but unspectacular game that he was likely to lose. Now he’s a hero and has erased some of the narrative that emerged after a rough first week in Atlanta. The whole game felt like the 2021 Vikings playing against themselves.
Podcast: Kirk Cousins changed the narrative, but the Twins sure didn’t
Playing on Monday Night Football and gifted a chance for redemption on multiple fronts, former Vikings QB Kirk Cousins led the Falcons on a last-minute touchdown drive for a stunning 22-21 win. Meanwhile, the Twins blew a late lead and saw their wild card cushion shrink.
