Kirk Cousins ​​forgets how football works, tries to stay off guard in crucial 4th game down vs 49ers

Right defender, wrong attack manager.

Kirk Cousins ​​is used to making a header or two in key positions – remember when he got on his knees instead of poking the ball? – so to see the Vikings quarterback do another on Sunday doesn’t have to come as a shock or a surprise.

However, that doesn’t make it any less fun.

While threatening to score in the fourth inning of the Vikings-49ers game, Cousins ​​moved to take a fourth hit. However, instead of lining up below center, Cousins ​​moved below right-back Olisaemeka Udoh and was expected to have a moment.

That, apparently, didn’t happen, and instead Cousins ​​burned the timeout.

There seems to be a bit of confusion before the moment, as Cousins ​​is trying to navigate traffic before entering below center. Except, it wasn’t center, and Alexander Mattison running back managed to get Cousins ​​to move to center before time ran out.

Gaffe aside, Cousins ​​had a breakout INT earlier in the game despite fighting the 49ers in San Francisco.

The Vikings wouldn’t convert the fourth play and goal, with Cousins ​​tossing an incomplete pass to Justin Jefferson in the next game.

The 49ers will miss a target in later possession, giving the Vikings a slim chance of survival. Instead, they will fail to convert for a fourth time in Niners territory, giving San Francisco the final W.

Although British decision-making is often imposed, it is possible that next time he will make a more agile decision.
