5 bold predictions for Vikings against Seahawks
By Josie Rohach
4. All three Vikings receivers will score against Seattle
Despite what Zimmer might think, Kirk Cousins is simply not the problem for Minnesota. He’s thrown for five touchdowns and 595 yards and ended Week 2 with a 122.4 QBR.
Even more encouraging, Cousins has been spreading the success. K.J. Osborn and Justin Jefferson both have a score each, while Adam Thielen leads the team with three. Osborn might have had the most electric reception so far on a 64 yard touchdown grab during the opening drive against the Cardinals last week.
Receiving has been a bright spot for Minnesota and will continue to shine through Week 3. Even if Cousins maintains what seems to be a mental block against Seattle, Thielen, Jefferson, and Osborn are all talented enough to make plays when they matter. Especially with Dalvin Cook banged up heading into the contest, look for the Vikings receivers to all get their fair share of glory with a touchdown each on Sunday afternoon.
