The Minnesota Vikings had to call a timeout late against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday after Kirk Cousins made an embarrassing mistake.
Kirk Cousins lined up under the wrong offensive lineman. Alexander Mattison rushed up and tried to push Cousins to his correct spot under center but the play clock was running down and Cousins had to call timeout.
“The Vikings had to take a timeout before their 4th down play as Kirk Cousins lined up under his guard and tried to take the snap,” FOX Sports NFL shared on Twitter.
After the timeout, Cousins threw way over his receiver in the end zone and the 49ers took over on downs.
After the game, he was asked about that mistake and he had this to say:
“We just didn’t get lined up properly and the play clock was winding down,” Cousins said. “I was just moving, trying to get everybody settled up and just got under the wrong guy.”
