As Chiefs Get Ready for Vikings Challenge, QB Kirk Cousins’ Throwback Clip Makes ‘Hilarious’ Noise

Kirk Cousins, the seasoned NFL campaigner, and Patrick Mahomes, the young gun, embarked on their journey as starting quarterbacks for their respective teams back in 2018. Fast forward five action-packed years, and these two QBs are about to collide at the iconic U.S Bank Stadium. As The Kansas City Chiefs are gearing up to go toe-to-toe with the Minnesota Vikings in a Sunday Night Football showdown. 

It’s a clash of the titans, a meeting of the minds, and a momentous matchup for NFL fans everywhere–a real-life episode of ‘Quarterback,’ the Netflix sensation, starring two out of the three shining stars. 

A tackle-turned-pass for Kirk Cousins

However, just days before the Chiefs and Vikings collide in a gridiron battle of epic proportions, a viral video of Kirk Cousins is making waves, giving us a glimpse of the lesser-known, mischievous side of this NFL veteran. 

Rewind to a time when Kirk ‘You like that’ Cousins donned the colors of the Washington Redskins. It was a fateful showdown against the Seattle Seahawks, and in a moment that’s now internet-famous, Cousins displayed his lightning-quick reflexes and ball-saving wizardry. Need proof? Take a gander at this clip uncovered by a social media detective over on ‘X.’ 

In the face of an imminent tackle, Cousins pulled off an impromptu pass to his teammate, leaving everyone in stitches. The caption reads, “Kirk Cousins knew he was about to get crushed and gave it to the running back… Kirk is hilarious.” He’s not just Captain Kirk Cousins; he’s Clever Captain Kirk Cousins. But come Sunday night, ‘Captain Clever’ is in for a curveball like no other.

Magic Mahomes or Captain Kirk, who takes victory home?

As we count down the days to Cousins’ ultimate measuring-stick game just around the corner, he decided to kick back on a Tuesday afternoon at a baseball game. Yep, even NFL warriors get their Tuesdays off. But let’s be real, the fact that Mahomes is currently the undisputed quarterback kingpin of the NFL while Cousins is playing catch-up should raise eyebrows. And don’t even get started on the Vikings’ not-so-stellar record compared to the Chiefs. 

From a concrete standpoint, Mahomes has that uncanny ability to turn chaos into magic on the field, consistently transforming chicken caca into chicken salad. From an intangible angle, Mahomes maximizes every precious moment between games to prep for the next showdown.
