The grades from Pro Football Focus are in for the Minnesota Vikings 27-20 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs and they came in rather favorably.
Outside of the Vikings first play of the game where they fumbled the ball away to the Chiefs, the offense played relatively well. Kirk Cousins had arguably his best game of the season in terms of decision-making and pocket management.
