He was simply stating an opinion about franchise quarterback Kirk Cousins that has more or less morphed into fact over the past couple of months.“I think it goes to show the world the type of player Kirk is,” Jefferson said after the Vikings suffered a 30-24 loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday afternoon at U.S. Bank Stadium. “This is a tough league.

He really di...
