Kirk Cousins – Noteworthy
QB Kirk Cousins was 36 of 50 for 422 yards passing and three touchdowns and had Minnesota in position to tie the game, reminiscent of two weeks ago in Green Bay, but was stripped as he went back for a pass with 1:29 remaining in the loss to the Rams.
Trae Waynes – Noteworthy
CB Trae Waynes started the game against the Rams but left with a concussion and didn’t return.
Xavier Rhodes – Noteworthy
CB Xavier Rhodes was called for defensive holding and then kicked the penalty flag against the Rams, drawing an unsportsmanlike penalty and causing coach Mike Zimmer to pull Rhodes off the field. “Well, he kicked the flag,” Zimmer said. “That’s the kind of things we’ve been doing, having penalties on defense and giving up big plays. It reared its ugly head again tonight.”
