No. 4 Kirk Cousins vs. Philadelphia

You like that?! We kind of like that? We’re not sure. Are we for or against Kirk Cousins? This week, we’re for. The 84-million guaranteed man is off to a rocky start but has been good when on his game. Two 400-yard games into 2018, could Philadelphia be next?

Oddly enough, Kirk threw for less than 300 yards against San Francisco and Buffalo. Buffalo famously had Vontae Davis retire at halftime the previous week. Where Cousins played his best? Against Green Bay, presumably the biggest threat in the division, and against the Rams, the best team in football.

We talked about Diggs in this matchup and about that Philadelphia secondary. This all lines up for Cousins and the Vikings, who need a win to avoid slipping to 1-3-1 on the year.
