Against the Colts, the only top ten pass defense we have played, Cousins offense scored 11 points, and had a passer rating of 15.9, throwing 3 picks to 0 TDs and a YPA of 4.35.
As of this moment, the only other game the Vikings are scheduled to play against a top 10 pass defense is the Saints and the Vikings have played 7 of the worst 10 pass defenses this year, including all of the bottom 3 pass defenses.
Earlier in this thread I commented about Goff's SB season and how easy it was for him as a QB, and how that ended up getting him a huge contract he probably didn't deserve. The defenses we are facing this year are even more favorable than the ones Goff faced in 2018.
I will give Kirk credit for beating up a good Bears pass defense - their numbers have decreased as of late, but Kirk made some great plays in a place where Vikings offense usually goes to die, on a MNF game. He's made some baby steps (winning a playoff game, winning in MNF, actually making a comeback for once), but it's time Mr. $33M takes some big man steps forward.
... and neither is this Chris guy.
