Again, they have the 12th highest cap spending on defense in the league. Cousins’ contract didn’t make them draft a 1 and 2 that couldn’t beat anybody out on a bad backend on the 31st ranked defense in the league.And what could the Vikings spend money on to improve if they didn’t have to pay such a massive contract to cousins?
Joe Burrow didn’t do much but won because he played a backup QB that turned a sneak TD into a 99 yard TD that flipped the game.
Josh Allen turned it over three times and only won because he was playing a third string QB and a coach that couldn’t get a play in on time.
Prior to victory formation, the Giants were at 6.7 YPP, no TOs. Good luck winning against that.
Sure more cap $ on defense would help, but it isn’t solving the root problem.
