The ongoing discussion surrounding Kirk Cousins’s impending free agency has created a whirlwind, leaving morning talk show hosts grappling with his accomplishments.
During a segment on Friday’s episode of Undisputed, former NFL receiver and Fox host Keyshawn Johnson presented his case for why the Minnesota Vikings should let Cousins go this spring. While acknowledging Cousins’s lone playoff win, Johnson also attributed the “Minneapolis Miracle” to him.
“He’s 1-3 lifetime in the postseason, and the only win is the miracle,” Johnson stated. However, it’s worth noting that the Minneapolis Miracle involved Case Keenum making the crucial play with a deep pass to Stefon Diggs, ultimately leading to a walk-off touchdown. Cousins joined the Vikings later, signing an $84 million contract in free agency.
Despite spending six years in Minnesota, Cousins’s sole playoff victory occurred in January 2020, when he threw a game-winning touchdown to Kyle Rudolph in a 26-20 overtime triumph at what is now the Caesar’s Superdome. While Johnson’s viewpoint found agreement from hosts Michael Irvin and Skip Bayless, the discussion may stir debates among Minnesota bars until Cousins makes his decision next month.
