Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins scored his very playoff victory on Sunday in quite memorable fashion—throwing the touchdown pass to tight end Kyle Rudolph in overtime. The game-winning move led the Vikings to a 26-20 victory over the New Orleans Saints. It was the first playoff overtime win in the team’s history.
Cousins completed 19 out of 31 passes for 242 yards in his second career playoff start and first with the Minnesota Vikings. The quarterback had previously undergone great criticism for not winning a single playoff game in his career.
After the big win, FOX interviewed Cousins, asking how his faith helped him through those challenging times.
“My faith is important to me, it’s the foundation of my life. And ultimately that’s where I gain my peace and my strength,” Cousins replied. “Win or lose today, God is still on the throne and I take comfort in that.”
