Maybe Adam Thielen should've called out Kirk Cousins a lot earlier.
Cousins is enjoying his best performance of the season Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles. With a little under eight minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, he has thrown for 318 yards, four touchdowns and one interception.
Stefon Diggs has been the biggest beneficiary, catching seven passes for 167 yards and three touchdowns on 11 targets. Thielen has six receptions for 57 yards and one score on eight targets.
Thielen expressed his frustration with the offense and shaded Cousins by telling reporters the Vikings "have to be able to hit the deep balls" following a 16-6 loss to the Chicago Bears on Sept.
