EAGAN, Minn. -- The chemistry Kirk Cousins and Adam Thielen have built in their first season as teammates stretches from their rise as the NFL’s top quarterback-wide receiver tandem to their "dead arm dance" touchdown celebration in the Minnesota Vikings' win over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 6.
The immediate success of the Cousins-Thielen duo is a major reason why Minnesota is 10th in total yards per game (391.2) and has the eighth-best passing attack (303.8 yards per game) entering Week 7. Cousins and Thielen rank first among all QB-WR duos in receptions (58) and receiving yards (712) and have a chance to rewrite several team and NFL single-season marks.
