Vikings' Kirk Cousins throws for 307 yards and 3 scores in come-back win over Panthers in Week 12
Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 34 of 45 attempts for 307 yards and 3 touchdowns in a 28-27 win over the Carolina Panthers in Week 12.
What It Means:
Cousins was forced to throw more than usual in Week 12, with the Panthers jumping out to a lead following two defensive touchdowns in the third quarter. Even with Adam Thielen sidelined, Cousins was effective through the air, completing 7 passes to four different wide receivers. His connection with Justin Jefferson remained strong, with the pair connecting on 7 of 13 targets for 70 yards and 2 touchdowns. The 45 pass attempts were a season-high for Cousins in one of the only Vikings games this season to feature the passing game more than the run. Next up for Cousins and the Vikings is a clash with the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 13.
Cousins scored 26.18 FanDuel points in Week 12, the most of any quarterback on Sunday's early slate of games, and 7.78 more than numberFire's projection (18.4). Our models project Cousins for 17.7 FanDuel points against the Jaguars in Week 13.
