“Years Ago, Would Have Never Put On Diamond Chains on the Plane”: Backed by an Insane Start, Kirk Cousins Changes Tunes to Match Teammates’ Vibe

What changed for Kirk Cousins?

Former football player Ron Johnson broke down the changed environment that Kirk Cousins finds himself in under coach Kevin O’Donnell at Minnesota. He said on the Pat McAfee Show that it was about Kirk having a coach teaching him to trust the receivers and the process. And that he is more fun now, matching the vibes of his teammates.

“Kirk Cousins, years ago, would have never put on diamond chains on the plane with his teammates. And now, he’s doing it for social media, he doesn’t care what the people think,” Johnson said.“He’s got the T-shirt tucked into the sweatpants, full dad mode. But hey, if a player, if one of his teammates wants him to have fun, he’s gonna have fun. I think that’s what we’re seeing.”

Mike Zimmer was at the helm of the Vikings when Cousins arrived in Minnesota. They made the playoffs together in 2019 but missed out for the next two years. And then O’Donnell replaced him this season. Since then, the Vikings have been sailing smoothly.

Minnesota Vikings season so far 

The Minnesota Vikings have had a great start to the season. They have won six out of the seven games played so far this season and look set to make the playoffs. The team has had a new lease of life under coach O’Donnell. The Vikings made a statement start to the season with a win over Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers. They lost the next game against the Philadelphia Eagles but have a five-game win streak.

QB Kirk Cousins has been at the center of the Vikings’ success. He has thrown 1734 yards passing this season. Cousins has thrown eleven touchdown passes. The opposing defenses have intercepted just five of his passes, averaging less than one a game. A banger of a season so far.

Minnesota sits at the top of the NFC North divisional table, ahead of the usual suspects, the Packers. They next meet Cousins’ old team, the Washington Commanders in game week nine. Will Cousins and the Vikings continue to steamroll the opponents?
