ATL Standard

The Minnesota Vikings are widely considered the favorites to win against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 14, according to expert predictions. The Vikings have been on a strong run, winning their last five games. In contrast, the Falcons have faced challenges recently, losing three consecutive games.

Kirk Cousins, who spent six seasons with the Vikings before joining the Falcons this offseason, will be returning to Minnesota. Cousins expressed his resilience and determination ahead of the game. "Football and my journey is — it always kicks you down and you've got to find a way to get back up and find myself there again," Cousins stated. He added that he believes in perseverance: "I wish I could say I wasn't in that spot, but I find myself there again. I have to just believe that tough times don't last, tough people do."

Cousins acknowledged the challenges of professional football but remains committed: "You just keep going and pushing and at some point, they'll tell you that, 'Hey, you're not going to get another chance. Your time is up in this league.' But until then, I'm going to keep trying to pick myself up off the mat and get back to work."
