The Minnesota Vikings have had quite the history at the quarterback position. In recent years, they had the stability of Kirk Cousins; they moved on from him, drafted J.J. McCarthy, and signed Sam Darnold.

The Minnesota Vikings are currently rolling with eight straight wins and a 13-2 record. It's been nearly two weeks since they locked up a playoff spot. And they're just two wins away from an NFC North title and the conference's top seed.

The Atlanta Falcons shelved quarterback Kirk Cousins ahead of their Week 15 matchup with the New York Giants, the first time in years Cousins was a QB2 while healthy. And things only got worse from there.
