Kirk Cousins continues to get Aaron Rodgers’ number in their head-to-head encounters.
Kirk Cousins improves to a 5-4-1 versus Aaron Rodgers head-to-head as the NFC quarterback starts.
The Minnesota Vikings defeated the Green Bay Packers 7-23 On a Sunday evening in the first week. While Packers have a bad habit of hitting the snooze button in the first week of NFL seasons, Cousins continues to play his best brand of football when he faces off against the quarterback on his opposing team. While his kryptonite is still a primetime window, Rodgers isn’t the Superman versus Cousins.
If only Cousins were the quarterback for San Francisco 49ers…
If that was the case, Rodgers wouldn’t stand a chance against him under any circumstances.
Kirk Cousins still has Aaron Rodgers in their head-to-head battle
That day, Cousins completed 23 of 32 passes for 277 yards, two touchdowns and was not intercepted. The bulk of his targets went to his #1 wide receiver in Justin Jefferson, who had a fierce day with nine hits hunting for 184 yards and two trips to push the dirt. In a way, this result just explained why the Vikings might be the team to beat in the NFC North this season.
Cousins has a new head coach in Kevin O’Connell, which will put him in better positions for success as the former quarterback himself. He has ample weapons to work with. As for Rodgers, he may have a good defense this year to rely on, as well as a strong team at the back. Unfortunately, the Packers may have the worst spacious reception room in the NFL. This will be a big problem.
Although this was a match the Vikings would have likely won anyway, Green Bay should win the next match at Lambeau later. Although the Chicago Bears and Detroit Lions don’t feel like the playoffs this year, Green Bay doesn’t want to leave it up to chance as a Wild Card team this fall. The clock is ticking at Prime Rodgers, and he has the Super Bowl to claim the win.
The tale of cousins owning Rodgers does exist, and one that isn’t going away any time soon.
