The Minnesota Vikings had one of their players in Kirk Cousins tampered with by the Atlanta Falcons. Cousins blatantly admitted it during his press conference.
The NFL levied penalties against the Falcons on Thursday and the Vikings got nothing. Meanwhile, the Falcons got docked a fifth round pick along with hundreds of thousands in fines.

That's not a lot, especially considering that the Falcons were caught tampering with three players and not just one. This feels extremely low for not just tampering with one player, but three of them.
In this, the Vikings get nothing for having their player tampered with. That's not unprecedented but it still hurts.
