What did he say? Fuming, frustrated Vikings kept falling short in red zone

Welcome to our morning-after Vikings blog, where we'll revisit every game by looking at two players who stood out, two concerns for the team, two trends to watch and one big question. Here we go:

The clip went viral shortly after Fox's on-field microphones picked up Justin Jefferson's exasperated voice ringing through an empty U.S. Bank Stadium: the receiver yelling an expletive in quarterback Kirk Cousins' direction, followed by a remark that sounded like either, "Come on, throw the ball!" or "Come on, throw the flag!"

It's the type of moment that happens more often in football games than those not on the field typically get to experience; Jefferson took to social media after the game to say the clip was blown out of proportion, adding, "I ain't no diva," and it certainly lacks the context to function as evidence of something more than a moment of frustration.
