The Minnesota Vikings didn’t play in Week 6, but plenty of other players with connections to the franchise did. The group of former Vikings playing this past week were headlined by Kirk Cousins who has seemingly found his footing in Atlanta following his injury last year.
Who else has played though?
We wanted to check in on the likes of Stefon Diggs, Danielle Hunter, and Eric Kendricks. Kendricks is reunited with Vikings coach Mike Zimmer down in Dallas, just furthering the string that attaches those franchises. Meanwhile, so many other players are continuing promising careers after leaving Minnesota. Unfortunately, they are not a part of a roster currently undefeated in the NFL.
Here is how some former Vikings performed in Week 6.
