Kirk Cousins has become the first Vikings quarterback to throw for 4,000 yards in a season this decade.

Cousins entered Sunday's game at Detroit with 3,913 yards and hit the milestone in the second quarter on a 17-yard completion to Adam Thielen.

This is the fourth consecutive season that Cousins has reached the threshold since he became a starter with Washington in 2015.

Hall of Famer Brett Favre passed for 4,202 yards with Minnesota in 2009.

The only other players to pass for more than 4,000 yards in a season are Daunte Culpepper (4,717 in 2004) and Hall of Famer Warren Moon, who is the only player to do so twice in a season for the Vikings.

Moon passed for 4,264 yards in 1994 and followed with 4,228 a season later.

Cousins entered Week 16 ranked second in completions, third in attempts, second in completion percentage, ninth in passing yards and 10th in passer rating.
