Kirk Cousins Prime-Time Blues: Vikings QB Aims to Rewrite History vs. 49ers on Monday Night Football

Kirk Cousins has struggled in prime time games throughout his career, with a 12-21 record and a 2-10 mark on Monday Night Football. However, he has put up big numbers this season and will face a tough challenge against the 49ers' defense.

Kirk Cousins, the quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings, has had a history of struggling in prime-time games. Throughout his career, Cousins has a record of 12-21 in prime-time games, including a 2-10 record on "Monday Night Football." In his time with the Vikings, Cousins has a 7-10 record in prime-time games, compared to a 5-11 record with the Washington Football Team.

When playing on Monday nights, Cousins has completed 63.2 percent of his passes for 2,875 yards, with 17 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. Despite these numbers, Cousins has been putting up impressive stats this season. He has a completion percentage of 67.2 percent, with 14 touchdowns and only two interceptions. Last week, even without one of his top receivers, Justin Jefferson, Cousins performed well, completing 21 of 31 passes in a victory against the Chicago Bears.

However, Cousins and the Vikings' offense will face a tough challenge on Monday night against the San Francisco 49ers' defense. The 49ers currently rank second in the NFL in points allowed, ninth in passing yards allowed, and seventh in rushing yards allowed. While their defense has been strong overall, they have struggled in the red zone, ranking 24th in the league. This could be an area where Cousins and the Vikings look to take advantage and score touchdowns.

Overall, Cousins' performance in prime-time games has been inconsistent throughout his career. While he has had some impressive moments, he has also struggled to deliver in these high-pressure situations. Monday night's game against the 49ers will be another opportunity for Cousins to prove himself and lead his team to victory.
