Cousins throws 2 TD passes before leaving with injury in Vikings’ 24-10 victory over Packers

Associated Press  

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Kirk Cousins led the Minnesota Vikings back to relevance after their poor start to the season. Cousins threw a pair of touchdown passes before leaving in the fourth quarter of the Vikings’ 24-10 victory over the slumping Green Bay Packers 24-10 on Sunday. Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell said after the game that the Vikings are “fearing an Achilles injury” but said Cousins was still undergoing evaluation. On the Packers’ ensuing possession, Jordan Love threw deep to Jayden Reed, but Josh Metellus made a spectacular catch with his back to the quarterback and then delivered a 43-yard interception return to give the Vikings the ball at the Green Bay 20. Green Bay finally reached the end zone on Love’s 1-yard pass to Romeo Doubs on fourth-and-goal late in the third quarter to cut the lead to 24-10, but the Packers couldn’t get any closer.
