One bold prediction for the Minnesota Vikings in 2021-22: Host playoff games
When will the Kirk Cousins slander come to an end? Probably never.
For whatever reason, Cousins always finds himself disrespected. He’s constantly led his ball clubs to playoff success but 2020 was something else entirely. The Minnesota Vikings never truly got going. All and all, we’ll chalk it up to a pandemic year.
The Vikings have one of the best offensive rosters in the entire league. Cousins is always good for about 4,000 yards and 30 plus touchdowns, Justin Jefferson is fresh off setting the rookie record for receiving yards with 1,400 and Dalvin Cook is a virtual guarantee to rush for over 1,200 yards.
In the NFC, not even the Tampa Bay Buccaneers can lay claim to having that sort of three-headed monster. Because of that, the Vikings will roll through the regular season and host at least one playoff game this year.
