5 bold predictions for Vikings against Browns

2. Vikings vs. Browns predictions: Kirk Cousins throws his first interception of the season

Through the Vikings’ first three games, quarterback Kirk Cousins has looked relatively impressive. He is completing 73.9 percent of passes, averaging 318.3 yards per game and has thrown eight touchdowns to zero interceptions. Statistically, he is a top-10 quarterback through three weeks. That may come as a surprise to many while the await for him to eventually crash and have a bad game.

They shouldn’t have to wait much longer as Cousins will be challenged by the Cleveland Browns defense. What the Browns did to the Bears has been well covered. That was the first light out game for the Browns defense. Prior to that, they’ve had some inconsistent play, sometimes looking dominant others looking mediocre.

Building off the success they had against Chicago, expect more dominant moments this week. It will be a tough task because the Vikings are loaded offensively, but the Browns have shown the ability to stop the run. If the Browns can stop Minnesota’s rushing attack, they will be able to key in on the Vikings pass catchers while unleashing their pass rush. This will force Cousins into hurried decision causing him to throw his first interception of the year.
