Cousins throws 3 TDs, Vikings end with 37-35 win over Lions

LARRY LAGE (AP Sports Writer)The Associated Press

Kirk Cousins danced in the end zone after running for a go-ahead touchdown early in the fourth quarter and the Minnesota Vikings went on to celebrate the end of a disappointing season with a 37-35 win over the lowly Detroit Lions on Sunday. ''We were really close to being in the playoffs,'' Cousins said after throwing three touchdowns in the first half and finishing with a season-high 405 yards passing. The Vikings (7-9) failed for the fourth time in a decade to make two straight trips to the playoffs.
