CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins has eclipsed 30,000 career passing yards.

The QB hit the milestone in the fourth quarter of Minnesota's game at Carolina Sunday.

Cousins entered the game with 29,768, needing 232 to become the 50th player in NFL history to hit 30,000.

He reached the milestone on a 26-yard completion to Justin Jefferson that converted a third-and-2.

Minnesota followed that pass with a 25-yard run by Dalvin Cook a play later on the way to a field goal to make it 28-17 with 10:15 left in the game.

Cousins passed Joe Ferguson (29,817) and Randall Cunningham (29,979) during the game.
