MINNEAPOLIS - Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins offered a mea culpa to receiver Adam Thielen after failing to connect with his teammate on a handful of plays during Minnesota's 16-6 loss at Chicago in Week 4.
Thielen was a guest on Cousins' weekly show "Under Center with Kirk Cousins" that airs on KFAN, the team's flagship radio station. Moderated by Minnesota Hall of Fame broadcaster Mark Rosen, Cousins was asked whether he took offense to the comments Thielen made following the loss about needing to complete deep-ball passes and execute plays in the passing game when the Vikings aren't able to run the ball successfully.
