CANTON, Ohio — A piece of Holland, Michigan is heading to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

On Tuesday, the Hall of Fame posted on social media that Kirk Cousin's No. 8 jersey has found its way to Canton, Ohio.

The jersey is from the Minnesota Vikings Week 15 39-36 overtime win against the Indianapolis Colts.

Cousins helped lead the Vikings to an NFL record 33-point comeback victory and clinch the NFC North division title in the process. Cousins threw for 460 yards and four touchdowns in the Vikings historic comeback victory.

The comeback even shocked Cousins.

"That one still to this day, I wonder, “How did that happen?” Cousins said.

The Michigan State alum's performance that Saturday impressed his head coach.

“His poise, his demeanor, his accuracy — when we needed it the most," coach Kevin O'Connell said after Minnesota made the largest comeback in NFL history.

Cousins and the Vikings play the New York Giants in the first round of the NFC playoffs at 4:30 p.m. on Sunday. The game will be televised on FOX.
