The Minnesota Vikings are in need of a win after falling to the Green Bay Packers last week. Offensively, the team was hoping to see a lot more out of quarterback Kirk Cousins, who came through immediately on the team's open drive. Adam Thielen also made his impact known for the first time this season.
On the opening drive of the game, Cousins was able to find Thielen on a dynamic 35-yard touchdown strike. Take a look at the play for yourself and enjoy Vikings' fans.

Fans in Minnesota have been waiting to see some kind of big play potential outside of Dalvin Cook. This was exactly what Mike Zimmer and company needed.
Perhaps the Vikings are back on track offensively. Either way, they need to take care of business today against the Oakland Raiders and this is exactly the kind of start they needed.
