“F*ck, Kirk! Come on! Throw the ball!”
Vikings superstar Justin Jefferson UNLOADED on his quarterback, Kirk Cousins, after an errant throw during Sunday’s game … and the wideout’s mini-rant was all caught on a hot mic.
Here’s the deal … in the 2nd quarter of Minnesota’s 33-27 loss to Chicago — Jefferson was open in the back of the end zone for a touchdown.

The problem? Cousins was scrambling to his left and couldn’t make an accurate throw — leading to an incompletion.
Justin — who’s absolutely BALLIN’ OUT in his first year in the league — was NOT happy about it … and screamed at the QB.
The clip went viral … and after the game, Jefferson wrote on social media the outburst should not cause people to label him a “diva.”
“y’all love blowing stuff out off proportion,” the 21-year-old said. “And I ain’t no diva don’t get it twisted.”
Jefferson ended up finishing the game with 8 catches for 104 yards on 11 targets. The team’s loss, though, puts Minnesota squarely on the outside looking in for a playoff spot.
