Adam Thielen of the Minnesota Vikings scored his second touchdown of the game against the Oakland Raiders, this time on the ground. After catching a 35 yard reception from Kirk Cousins, Thielen was able to take the ball one yard into the end zone. With Stefon Diggs being surprisingly absent throughout the first two games of the season, Thielen is able to take advantage of his opportunities, no matter how they come.

If Cousins is able to play anywhere close to what his contract is paying him, Thielen will be the first to benefit from it. The weapons are there for the Vikings, but it is matter of getting the ball to them. Trying to replicate the magic they had when Case Keenum was under center, the Vikings can bounce back with a big win against the Raiders. With Dalvin Cook being one of the most impressive running backs in the league thus far, it is up to Cousins carry his own weight.
