He's a top tier QB and he's always going to take the heat; all QBs take the heat. There have been plenty of QBs throughout the years who carry their teams through bad defenses (Mahommes, Manning, Brady, Brees, Rodgers, etc., etc.). If he wants to be in that tier, he'll be expected to win games like this.

Whether it is fair or not, Kirk is going to always draw a lot of criticism because he's always demanding and getting fully guaranteed contracts, he always has had a loaded team offensively in Minnesota, and the narrative around the Vikings when he was brought is that they were a good QB away from the SB.

Lastly, regardless of what happened in that game, everyone is going to remember 4th and 8, and he only able to manage throwing a 3 yard pass.
