Sunday’s Week 14 matchup between the Falcons and Vikings had to be an emotional game for Kirk Cousins. The Falcons quarterback was returning to the city where he played six seasons and passed for nearly 24,000 yards. Justin Jefferson also had a lot to do with that success.
Cousins wanted him to know just that.
While the Falcons struggled on Sunday in their fourth straight loss, Cousins and Jefferson made sure to meet at midfield at U.S. Bank Stadium for the most wholesome reunion. In mic’d-up footage from NFL Films, we were able to hear exactly what the longtime Vikings duo said to each other.

The moment Jefferson saw Cousins, he was so excited.
Cousins said in response, “Thank you for what you meant to me, man.”
Jefferson said back, “Always, same!”
That was true class, all the way around.
