Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins overthrew a pass to receiver Justin Jefferson in the end zone on Sunday. Jefferson’s response was over the top as well.

“Fuck, Kirk!” the wideout could be heard saying in a hot mic moment on the Fox broadcast that went viral.

Jefferson later downplayed his four-letter frustration. 

“I ain’t no diva don’t get it twisted,” he wrote on Twitter after the Vikings lost to the Chicago Bears, 33-27.

The Viking still had plenty to be mad about. Their playoff chances “all but vanished” with the loss, The Associated Press wrote.
