"I say that when my boys, Cooper and Turner, are old enough, I'm going to get them Eric Kendricks jerseys because he's the player I want my kids to wear the jersey of," Cousins said. "I just think he's as good of a linebacker as there is in the league, the way he can cover a Davante Adams down the middle of the field and also take on a pulling guard, to be that versatile and that athletic, it's special.
"It's something I see every day in practice every day through OTAs and training camp, I go against him every day and I just always tip my cap to him, because I think he's not only a great athlete but a very smart player, and we're lucky to have him," Cousins added.
The pass breakup by Harris initially drew a penalty flag, but officials picked it up, preserving a 28-14 lead with 8:15 remaining in the game.
Minnesota continued to endure injuries in the secondary and expected Green Bay to make a run.
The Packers did, thanks to a 12-men-on-the-field penalty against the Vikings and scored on Aaron Rodgers' third touchdown pass of the game to Adams. Green Bay barely got a 2-point conversion run to make it 28-22 with 3:05 remaining, then forced a punt to get the ball back at their own 28 with 47 ticks left.
Green Bay advanced to the Minnesota 41-yard line and stopped the clock with 12 seconds left.
Rookie D.J. Wonnum walloped Rodgers and forced a fumble that was recovered downfield by Eric Wilson as time expired.
