There it is… the news every Minnesota Vikings fan was expecting at some point this season. Vikes’ starting quarterback, Kirk Cousins has tested positive ahead of the big game with the division rival Green Bay Packers. He has been put on Covid IR and not be available. Sean Mannion is the backup, but he is already on Covid IR, but just cleared off of it today. Vikings announce Mannion will start Sunday night. That means no Kellen Mond or Kyle Sloter barring injury for all the fans that wanted either. Vegas, took the game off the books upon the news. The Packers were 6.5 point favorites before. Expect that to drastically rise shortly. ...And it did, with the Vikes now being 13 point underdogs. Mike Zimmer in his press conference praises Sean Mannion ahead of the game.

Kirk Cousins raised eyebrows early in the 2021 campaign when he came out publicly as unvaccinated, and saying that he would stay so. There was the whole press conference about plexiglass boxes and meeting under the goal posts in December if needed. Mike Zimmer had plead with the team to get vaccinated, and Kirk was one who refused. It will now cost the Vikings their best shot in years to sweep their cross border rivals, and probably any hopes of making the playoffs. What are your reactions?
