![Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins in the second quarter. ] CARLOS GONZALEZ • cgonzalez@startribune.com - Minneapolis, MN - October 28, 2018, US Bank](https://chorus.stimg.co/22124636/merlin_52070150.jpg?h=398&w=637&fit=crop&bg=999&crop=faces)
Cousins, Vikings overcome Patterson return, beat Bears 19-13
Kirk Cousins will take a victory any day of the week. That he finally got one on a Monday night didn't seem to matter.
It's the Vikings' turn to rally late in a 28-27 victory over Carolina
Kirk Cousins hits hit Chad Beebe with 46 seconds left, shortly after Beebe had muffed a punt that seemed to doom the Vikings' comeback chances.
For Vikings' Kirk Cousins to be a star, clutch play counts, whether he likes that or not
Quarterbacks tend to make their name with the game on the line.
