Career-low passing yardage in win Cousins completed 12 of 24 passes for 87 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in the Vikings' 17-9 win over the Bears on Monday night. He also rushed twice for 10 yards a...

Impact The ugly stat line sums up how choppy the night was for the Vikings offense, but Cousins prevented a total fantasy washout for managers rolling with him their postseason contests by firing touchdown passes to Justin Jefferson and Ihmir Smith-Marsette in the first and third quarters, respectively. In fairness to the veteran quarterback, he also endured constant pressure, taking four sacks and getting hit seven times overall. The yardage total was the lowest career figure for Cousins in a start, but paired with a strong showing by the defense and a workmanlike effort from Dalvin Cook (28 carries, 89 yards), it proved enough for a key late-season win. Cousins next chance to keep Minnesota's playoff hopes alive comes in a Week 16 home matchup against the Rams that will almost certainly require Minnesota to be a lot more aggressive through the air than Monday night.
