The Vikings "just got to keep working" on quarterback Kirk Cousins' downfield passing efficiency, coach Mike Zimmer said Monday.
Cousins averaged 6.5 yards per throw in Sunday's loss, his lowest since his last game against Chicago at the end of last season.
"There's times you just have to pull the trigger and believe you're going to make the throw," Zimmer said Monday. "There were some times that he got the ball out really good. The one behind Adam [Thielen], just a little bit behind him, he got that ball out good. There were some other ones."
Thielen said Monday his frustration comes from knowing the Vikings' passing game with Cousins can be explosive, evident by Thielen's NFL record-tying eight straight games with 100 receiving yards to open last season.
