Will the Seattle Seahawks, who made Russell Wilson the NFL’s highest-paid player Monday night, and other teams that have given big-money contracts to their quarterbacks see a Super Bowl payoff?

In his first season as quarterback with the Minnesota Vikings, Kirk Cousins has managed to find instant chemistry with wide receivers Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs.

The circumstances might have been drastically different, with last January’s clash between the New Orleans Saints and Minnesota Vikings a divisional-round playoff game at U.S. Bank Stadium and Sunday night’s rematch on the same field for the eighth game of the regular season. Still, Saints players who were part of the postseason matchup had vivid memories — more like nightmares — about how it ended: with the Vikings connecting on a 61-yard, last-ditch touchdown pass on the game’s final play to win, 29-24.

Kirk Cousins insists he isn’t feeling any added pressure from playing the 2017 season with a franchise tag rather than having a long-term contract with the Washington Redskins.

With Kirk Cousins taking on more leadership responsibilities, Washington is looking to improve on last season.
