Kirk Cousins, the seasoned NFL campaigner, and Patrick Mahomes, the young gun, embarked on their journey as starting quarterbacks for their respective teams back in 2018. Fast forward five action-packed years, and these two QBs are about to collide at the iconic U.S Bank Stadium.

In the face of an imminent tackle, Cousins pulled off an impromptu pass to his teammate, leaving everyone in stitches. The caption reads, “Kirk Cousins knew he was about to get crushed and gave it to the running back… Kirk is hilarious.” He’s not just Captain Kirk Cousins; he’s Clever Captain Kirk Cousins. But come Sunday night, ‘Captain Clever’ is in for a curveball like no other.

Magic Mahomes or Captain Kirk, who takes victory home?

As we count down the days to Cousins’ ultimate measuring-stick game just around the corner, he decided to kick back on a Tuesday afternoon at a baseball game. Yep, even NFL warriors get their Tuesdays off. But let’s be real, the fact that Mahomes is currently the undisputed quarterback kingpin of the NFL while Cousins is playing catch-up should raise eyebrows. And don’t even get started on the Vikings’ not-so-stellar record compared to the Chiefs. 

From a concrete standpoint, Mahomes has that uncanny ability to turn chaos into magic on the field, consistently transforming chicken caca into chicken salad. From an intangible angle, Mahomes maximizes every precious moment between games to prep for the next showdown.
