The Minnesota Vikings enter Week 10 facing what could be the most important game of their season. After opening the year 6-0 and looking like a legitimate contender, the team has hit a rough two-week stretch. Now, Minnesota has a chance to rebound with not just a win, but a crucial divisional victory over the Green Bay Packers.
Recognizing the gravity of the moment, the Vikings’ general manager acted decisively and acquired quarterback Kirk Cousins from the Las Vegas Raiders. The former Minnesota signal-caller is back via trade, and since the deal was announced, optimism around the offense has surged.
So, what grade did Bleacher Report assign the trade? The outlet published evaluations of every deadline transaction and gave the Vikings’ general manager an A-. Explaining the mark, Bleacher Report wrote: “In the league’s best division, where the fourth-place Green Bay Packers are 6-3, Minnesota (6-2) couldn’t stand pat at quarterback. Cousins will significantly improve the Vikings’ 27th-ranked scoring offense and keep them in the playoff picture.”
Cousins arrives ironically in time to return to Lambeau Field—the same stadium where he suffered his Achilles injury before leaving Minnesota for the Atlanta Falcons.
