MINNEAPOLIS -- The mounting frustrations on offense were visible for the Minnesota Vikings during a 24-10 season-ending loss to the Chicago Bears. At the end of the first half, tensions between Kirk Cousins and Adam Thielen boiled over on the sideline in an exchange captured by broadcast cameras.
The two downplayed the heated incident after the game.
"It was kind of a deal of just trying to be on the same page with the route as to what he was doing," Cousins said. "And obviously I'm trying to throw it in anticipation and trying to read his body language before he breaks, and just talking about how to make sure that we're able to come away with the right play there.
