The Minnesota Vikings are in rough shape against the Jaguars, with Kirk Cousins throwing a terrible pick-6 early in the second half. 

Just when you think the Minnesota Vikings offense has taken a step forward, they go ahead and take several back going up against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jacksonville defense has rattled Kirk Cousins a bit and the start of the second half couldn’t have gotten off to a worse start.

With Cousins hoping to lead the Vikings down the field for a big score, the opposite was the case. Cousins missed Dalvin Cook completely and the Jaguars taking it all the way back for a pick-6. Unreal.

Kirk Cousins tossed a horrendous pick-6 against the Jacksonville Jaguars

As dangerous as Cook is with the ball in his hands, what a terrible decision this was from Cousins. He basically threw the ball up in the air hoping that his star running back would be able to make some magic happen. Instead, Jacksonville linebacker Joe Schobert was given an early Christmas present, with the ball basically being presented to him on his lap.

That Jacksonville score gave them a 16-6 lead over the Vikings in Minnesota. Cousins was able to bounce back and tossed a touchdown on the next drive to cut the deficit to 16-13. If the Vikings want to complete their comeback and win this one, Cousins will need to keep airing it out, but not make any other ridiculous mistakes.
