Comeback Kid

 


I just finished watching the Netflix limited series, Quarterbacks, last night.  The series follows three quarterbacks through their 2022 seasons with up close and personal footage of them on the football field and at home with their family and friends.  One of the featured quarterbacks was Kirk Cousins with the Minnesota Vikings.  Kirk had a great 13-4 season, but the highlight of the season was overcoming a 33 point deficit to defeat the Indianapolis Colts, earning bragging rights for the biggest comeback in NFL history.  Some of the sideline and locker room comments were pretty raw, and in typical Netflix fashion, there was no bleeping the f-bombs.  But you never heard Kirk drop one.  Instead, there was footage of him singing hymns and praying with his kids at bedtime.  It was so refreshing to see a high achieving celebrity unashamed of his faith.  I found this video with a little more of his story.  Praise God for Kirk and others like him who are helping to build God's kingdom here on earth.
