The Minnesota Vikings had a bittersweet game on Sunday with a 24-10 win over the Green Bay Packers, but lost quarterback Kirk Cousins for the season with a torn Achilles tendon.
Jaren Hall took over for Cousins and played only 11 snaps but didn’t look like a disaster at the spot. He will be the likely starter on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons.
As a whole, the offense performed well against their bitter division rivals. They got up 24-3 late in the third quarter and were able to maintain their lead.
The Pro Football Focus grades are in and, while they are overall good, don’t reflect the performance of the offensive line.
