‘With that defence’ – Dan Orlovsky’s verdict on Vikings’ Super Bowl hopes after Kirk Cousins trade
The Minnesota Vikings made a deadline day trade for Kirk Cousins after a disappointing performance from Carson Wentz on Monday. Cousins had played for the Vikings from 2018 to 2023, and is returning to the franchise as they look to make a long-awaited return to the Super Bowl.
Dan Orlovsky, a sportscaster, expressed his thoughts on the Minnesota Vikings' prospects for reaching the Super Bowl after acquiring quarterback Kirk Cousins in a deadline-day trade. Orlovsky acknowledged that while the team may not be the top contenders such as the Chicago Bears, San Francisco 49ers, Green Bay Packers, or Detroit Lions, he believes they have a strong chance with Cousins at the helm.
Orlovsky praised Cousins, stating that he has been playing top-five to top-seven football for the Vikings throughout the season. He further added that the move makes him believe that Minnesota can still win the Super Bowl. However, he didn't declare them the Super Bowl favorites. Orlovsky still considered Chicago, San Francisco, Green Bay, and Detroit as stronger competitors, but emphasized that with their defense and Cousins' leadership, Minnesota could definitely win the Super Bowl.
