Here's a snippet or two:

Since becoming a starting quarterback for the Washington Redskins in 2015, Cousins leads the NFL in fumbles with 37, having lost 16, also a league-high, according to ESPN Stats & Information
...
Cousins has six fumbles in the Vikings' past four games, four of which were recovered by the other team. And with every turnover created by a Cousins fumble, Minnesota’s opponent was able to capitalize.
...
Had Cousins not fumbled at the Rams' 48-yard line during the two-minute drill during a 38-31 loss to Los Angeles, the Vikings would have had a shot to tie the game. In a Week 6 win over the Cardinals, Cousins was strip-sacked and safety Budda Baker returned it for a touchdown.

Defense is dependent on an offense that doesn't turn it over, and on an offense that doesn't set up the D in a bad position.
As to the run game, remember that Case Keenum extended plays and Kirk never showed a knack for that, he would run once in a while but extending plays wasn't his thing:
Dalvin Cook was IR'd last year just like this year, their line is basically the same, they have LMurray as the second back like last year. The biggest difference is that KC has thrown it as many times already as Keenum did all last year. That's on the playcaller change which certainly affected it, but also I am sure KC's throwing ability encourages it, unfortunately putting the game more in his fumbling hands.
Anyway that was a lot of mumbo jumbo. Like I said, you want to like and pine for KC, that's fine. I was obviously glad we moved on from him. I do wish our QBs didn't break their legs.
