Kirk Cousins had the time of his life following win over Commanders
Kirk Cousins and the Minnesota Vikings came out victorious on Sunday in his return to Washington, D.C., beating the Commanders by a score of 20-17 thanks to a field goal from kicker Greg Joseph with just seconds remaining.
The win marked the very first time Cousins had faced his former team, where he had spent his first six NFL seasons. That same team is also where he famously led Washington from a 24-0 deficit to a dramatic 31-30 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers back in 2015 that was followed by a very emphatic and instantly viral, “you like that!”
The fire felt fitting, as it was and remains the biggest comeback in franchise history.
So on Sunday, seven years after that impossible-to-forget moment, the scene was set following Minnesota’s win over the Commanders. Cousins delivered exactly what the masses, or at least what his teammates, wanted. A postgame locker room victory cry of “you like that!”
