Vikings continue to tear into Packers secondary with Kirk Cousins-Justin Jefferson connection

The Kirk Cousins and Justin Jefferson connection continues to be strong. After connecting for the first touchdown of the Vikings season, and head coach Kevin O'Connell's tenure with the team, they connected for another deep ball to tear up the Packers secondary. 

O'Connell has been no stranger to air it out between Cousins' arm to Jefferson's ability to split defenses. These types of play calls were shown last season when O'Connell worked with Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford and deep threat Cooper Kupp. 

Now, in Minnesota, the pieces have changed to Cousins and Jefferson. But to much of Minnesota's glee, it's the same song, second verse for O'Connell's play calling. After firing Mike Zimmer, the Vikings needed a breath of fresh air, and plays like such are serving as that as they continue to hammer their NFC North Rival.
