You can feel Kirk Cousins’ return already inspiring the other local teams. Amazing.

@DexsTweets Let’s definitely film that. Good content.

[Zack Pierce @ZPathletic]

Awesome and well deserved. Congrats, Will.

Can’t believe I used to PA announce this guy’s college baseball games and now he’s Manager of the Year and I’m the seventh best Twins podcast host in Minnesota. We both made it.

The AL Manager of the Year is Will Venable of the @WhiteSox!

They believed they could do better than Kirk Cousins.

It sent them down the path of QB doom.

Searching for reliability and sustainability — a lifeline — the Vikings found their way back to the man they knew the locker room would be able to get behind:

We're all grilling steaks in tinfoil for dinner tonight, right?

[Zack Pierce @ZPathletic]

There was zero chance of a playoff run without this trade. Now you don't have to squint too hard to envision it. Things could always go south, but the Vikings did what they had to at acceptable cost.

(Brace yourselves for the next two games, though.)

[Alec Lewis @alec_lewis]

Suffice it to say that the Vikings locker room is very excited about this move. One thing that the players always appreciated about Kirk Cousins: How he boosts morale, which is something absolutely needed at the present.

[Zack Pierce @ZPathletic]

Never a doubt. #skol

The Las Vegas Raiders are trading QB Kirk Cousins to the Minnesota Vikings, sources confirm to @jjones9.

[Zack Pierce @ZPathletic]

I bet Randall Cunningham can still sling it.

[Zack Pierce @ZPathletic]

The 35-14 disparity in time of possession makes this defensive effort all the more remarkable against the highest-scoring team in the league.

[Zack Pierce @ZPathletic]

The Vikings can only win this if they get a defensive touchdown and I’m still watching because it’s actually quite possible. Remarkable.

[Zack Pierce @ZPathletic]

8-yard run
11-yard run
5-yard run
Fancy play action leading to ridiculous interception

Just abysmal decision making.

[Zack Pierce @ZPathletic]

@Tresio My fault.

[Zack Pierce @ZPathletic]

Defensive pass interference shall set you free.

NFL GMs with a QB to trade going to bed tonight waiting for the Vikings’ phone call tomorrow.

[Zack Pierce @ZPathletic]

Never mind.

[Zack Pierce @ZPathletic]

Defensive pass interference shall set you free.

[Zack Pierce @ZPathletic]

We get two more quarters of this, folks. Buckle up.
