Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins flirted with a 0.0 quarterback rating for much of Sunday’s 28-11 loss to the Colts before finishing the afternoon with a slightly more robust 15.9 mark.

Tyreek Hill‘s helmet came off after the Chiefs receiver somersaulted into the end zone for a 54-yard touchdown with 12:48 remaining in the fourth quarter. The question is: Did he do it in celebration? Taking off a helmet in the field of play is unsportsmanlike conduct and should result in a 15-yard penalty. Officials did […]
