MINNEAPOLIS — Vikings QB Kirk Cousins has thrown his 200th career touchdown pass.
The score — a 15-yard completion to Alexander Mattison — is his 101st in 52 starts with Minnesota.
Mattison caught the ball out of the backfield on a route over the middle and fought through tacklers for his second career touchdown catch (both have occurred against the Lions). It gave the Vikings a 13-3 lead over the Lions with 2:20 left in the first half.
