NFL roundup: Cousins wins on Vikings return; Hutchinson injures knee celebrating sack

Kirk Cousins threw two touchdown passes on his return to Minnesota as the Vikings beat Green Bay, while Detroit extended its winning run to five games by defeating New England in Munich. The Lions’ victory came with concern over Aidan Hutchinson, who appeared to injure his knee while celebrating a sack; reports described the injury as potentially serious.

Minnesota acquired Cousins from Las Vegas at the trade deadline, five days before he went 21 of 31 for 207 yards against the Packers. Detroit’s Amon-Ra St Brown caught two touchdowns and Jahmyr Gibbs ran for 153 yards and two scores; Patriots quarterback Drake Maye left with an ankle injury. Elsewhere, Buffalo improved to 8-1, Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes threw five touchdown passes, and Jacksonville won its third straight game.
