Kirk Cousins is ready for a ‘hostile’ environment in return to Minnesota

The return of Kirk Cousins is just days away, as the Falcons prepare to travel to Minnesota for their Week 14 matchup with the Vikings. The former Vikings quarterback has had some good success with his new team in 2024, which is competing with the Bucs for the NFC South division title.

When speaking to the media on Wednesday, Cousins praised Vikings fans while setting realistic expectations.

“They’re great football fans, and I would think as a result, they’ll make it hostile.”

Cousins also shared that he is excited to see many people when he returns to Minnesota. Some new friends he is bringing with him include an offense full of top-ten draft picks such as Bijan Robinson, Kyle Pitts, and Drake London.

Handling all of those players is going to come down to some key players on defense. Players like Jonathan Greenard and Andrew Van Ginkel will have to give him a warm Brian Flores defense welcome.
