Troy Aikman had a controversial take about Minneota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins on Monday Night Football.
Aikman was calling the 49ers-Vikings game alongside Joe Buck and was so impressed by Cousins that he thinks he’s a top 10 quarterback.
“Kirk Cousins is a Top 10 quarterback in my book,” Buck said.

Cousins threw for 378 yards and two touchdowns as the Vikings upset the 49ers 22-17 on Monday night. He was excellent throughout and got the Vikings to 3-4 overall heading into next Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers.
Do you think Cousins is a top 10 quarterback in the league?
