The 2018 Minnesota Vikings finished with a winning 8-7-1 record, highlighted by the high-profile signing of quarterback Kirk Cousins and a top-ten ranked defense. The season featured standout individual performances, including Pro Bowl selections for Adam Thielen, who tied an NFL record with eight consecutive 100-yard receiving games, and Danielle Hunter, who recorded 14.5 sacks. Notable victories included a dominant 41-17 win over the Dolphins and a crucial late-season triumph over the division rival Lions. A four-time Pro Bowl quarterback and highly accurate passer, Kirk Cousins ranks among the Minnesota Vikings' all-time leaders in passing yards and touchdowns after a productive six-season tenure that included a 13-win season in 2022.
