It was going all too well for the Minnesota Vikings and Kirk Cousins thus far in the NFL. Maybe the looming curse came back to haunt the Vikings camp again. Despite the victory against the Packers, there are growing concerns within the winning side. The side’s QB might just have to end his season with a grave injury.

Post-winning against the Packers in a rather one-sided affair, the Vikings weren’t too pleased about the win since Kirk Cousins sustained a shocking injury. His confirmation regarding the further season participation is still dicey and the Vikings might lose their talisman. Pat McAfee was keeping a close watch on the developments and added his grievances to the shocking news. The revered analyst expressed his sentiments as the injury news broke out!

While the Americans were rejoicing in the Vikings’ victory over a depleted Packers side. There was a dark moment that struck the celebrations. Amidst the resounding 24-10 victory of the Vikings, there was an Achilles injury to Kirk Cousins. After the rib injury back in the 2022 season, the Achilles tear might just end the QB’s best season as a pro! McAfee watching from close quarters was bummed about the same. He wrote on the X platform, “DAMN man… Absolutely bummed for @KirkCosuins8. Positive vibes from all of us to you in this recovery brother.”

Pat McAfee resonated with the views of several others, as he joined in for speedy recovery wishes. Cousins is having a stellar season and the prospect of him just ending the season is aching for his fans. While there were ominous signs that the Vikings superhero would trudge past the injury like several others in the past. When the QB was booted off with the support staff from the field, the sight turned into heartbreak for many fans.

Kirk Cousins has put his name in the GOAT QB after the retirements of Brady and Manning. Perhaps not the biggest player of his generation but his record in Prime-Time knockouts is amazing! Nonetheless, he’s also susceptible to injuries. Cousins’ recent injury came in the fourth quarter. With about 10 minutes to go in the quarter, the QB decided to make a play by stepping up in the pocket on a third down. As his right leg got buckled with Packers DT Kenny Clark sacking him, Cousins was immediately booted off the field.
