EDGE Analysis
Mannion got his first start in purple and gold with Kirk Cousins (illness) ruled out ahead of the contest. The veteran backup didn't perform terribly given his tough opponent, but he certainly didn't create any possibility of a quarterback controversy in Minnesota. Mannion did leave the game for a drive late in the contest due to hand cramps, but he was able to return and close out the game. If Cousins hasn't cleared protocols by next Sunday, then Mannion should get another start against the Bears, though he isn't likely to make much noise in fantasy circles.
