What happened: Kirk Cousins rejoined the Minnesota Vikings at the team facility following his trade from the Las Vegas Raiders. The organization marked the reunion by reviving Creed's song 'Higher' throughout team headquarters. Cousins finalized his return to Minnesota after the Raiders granted him his choice of destinations earlier in the week.

Why it matters: Minnesota acquired Cousins to stabilize its offense after outside analysts argued the Vikings must upgrade quarterback play so Justin Jefferson is not let down. The 6-2 Vikings dropped a 23-6 decision to the Buffalo Bills on Nov. 9, increasing urgency to bolster the depth chart before the trade deadline. Green Bay head coach Matt LaFleur publicly noted surprise at the modest return Las Vegas accepted to facilitate the deal.

What to watch: Minnesota visits the Green Bay Packers on Sunday at 1:00 p.m. ET. The matchup marks Cousins' first game back in the NFC North since his offseason departure.
