“There’s a little bit of, you got to improve. Whether it’s them telling me, ‘Hey, we gotta improve,’ or them pulling me; we got to get better.
“That’s what the rest of the season will be about for me, is trying to protect the football as best I can. Because when you turn the ball over, it really hurts your chances to win.
“I know that. I just need to improve as we look ahead to the rest of the season,” Cousins said via Courtney Cronin of ESPN.
Cousins added that the offensive performance needs to improve
Kirk Cousins and the Vikings are now on a 1-5 record in the NFL this season. Their recent loss to the Falcons was their second one in succession after losing to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 5.
The experienced NFL quarterback was gutted with his poor displays over the course of the recent weeks. He acknowledged that something had to change from an offensive point of view.

“I need to correct it. I need to finish the season with a different story, regarding the interceptions, so that’s something I need to improve with the remaining games we have but I don’t know that I’d limit it to the interceptions.
“However, I think it’s just the entire offensive performance. It’s just, I need to be better, we need to be better,” Cousins added via NFL Network.
