Aldrick Robinson, Vikings, declares "the connection is back" with Kirk Cousins

It was like the good old days for Aldrick Robinson.

In 2012, while Robinson was playing for Washington, Kirk Cousins ​​threw him a 49-yard touchdown pass in a pre-season game in Chicago. It was his first TD in an NFL game.

In 2014, the two men were again in pre-season for a 10-yard touchdown against New England.

They never qualified for a touchdown of the regular season until Sept. 27, when they had two losses in a 38-31 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. This is Robinson's second game with the Vikings since receiving the wide receivers signed on September 17th.

"This connection is back," Robinson said.

Cousins ​​and Robinson were teammates of the 2012-14 Redskins, when Cousins ​​was the alternate quarterback. The five touchdowns of Robinson's regular season were then launched by Robert Griffin III.

The cousins ​​played a role in obtaining Minnesota's signature of Robinson. After catching a 9-yard pass on September 23 against Buffalo in his Vikings debut, Robinson made two catches for 33 yards against the Rams. One was a TD reception of 16 yards in the first quarter and the other a 17-yard pass in the second quarter.

"It's always good to be in the end zone as a receiver," Robinson said.

While Robinson was clearly the target of the first score, he thought the second pass was for Kyle Rudolph. The two were close to each other in the end zone.

"He took a tight turn based on his adaptation to what he saw there, and I think Kirk threw it to him," Robinson said. "Actually, I waited to see if he was going to catch it, and once I saw him fall, I just took it myself."

Robinson hopes his game against the Rams will lead to more targets. The Vikings play Sunday in Philadelphia.

"I have the ability to play and I just learned the offensive," said Robinson. "But I'm learning the offensive a lot better now, so they can use me in a lot more ways."
