VIDEO: Kirk Cousins Hits Kyle Rudolph for Game-Winning TD in New Orleans to Send Saints Packing
By Adam Weinrib
Stop me if you've heard this one: The New Orleans Saints are not advancing this postseason thanks to uncharacteristic incompetence from Drew Brees and a leveling up by the Vikings. What happened to Michael Thomas? Why did Kirk Cousins treat this like a regular season game?! Who knows. But after blowing a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter, it was dimes only for Captain Kirk once the overtime period began, and he capped things off with this third-down fade to Kyle Rudolph for the win!

Third consecutive walk-off postseason loss for the Saints. Is it fair to question Breesus and Sean Payton now?
