The Minnesota Vikings are a legitimate Super Bowl contender and have been masters of situational football this season. Kirk Cousins brought out the swag post-game on the team’s flight back from Washington. The NFL world reacted, and this included some former Super Bowl winners as well.
Kirk Cousins put on the customary diamond studs
Kirk Cousins and the Vikings roster are building a culture at Minnesota. One of the team customs for Cousins after an away game is to get iced out with diamond chains and studs. Fans saw this after the wins over the New Orleans Saints and the Miami Dolphins. The Vikings carried on with this tradition after their 6th straight win this season. The Minnesota Vikings are 7-1 for the first time since 2009 and Viking fans think their quarterback has been excellent this season.
The former Washington quarterback returned to the FedEx Field for a 265-yard passing game with 2 touchdowns. Kirk Cousins combined with WR Justin Jefferson for the first TD and then tied the game with another TD pass to Dalvin Cook. Fans responded with some love for Kirk Cousins.

However, The Minnesota Vikings have never won a Super Bowl, and some fans thought the celebration was a little premature.
Team Owner and GM can NOT be happy about this 😂 will be in a meeting with HR to review company policy on Monday 8am to be exact 😂

One fan predicted Antonio Brown to comment on this celebration as Kirk Cousins did AB’s windshield wiper dance sequence in the celebration.
That video is going to spark another strange Antonio Brown tweet after he sees it

And the prediction was bang on. AB tweeted “put that s— on” and fulfilled the prophecy.

However, with everything that Antonio Brown is currently involved in, fans were happy to see a non-controversial tweet from the former Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver.
Can Kirk Cousins lead Minnesota to the Super Bowl holy grail?
After going 2-0 up against his former team, the Vikings QB faces Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills next. Fans wondered how Kirk will celebrate if they beat the in-form 6-2 Bills.
Just a couple weeks ago this man was tucking his shirt into his sweatpants. None of you are ready for what will happen if they beat the Bills

This is actually hilarious lol. Like when the nerdy kid at the school dance gets in the middle of the circle and busts out the weird moves, but everybody just hypes em up.

Kirk has his eyes on the coveted Lombardi trophy and said after the game, “our goal is Super Bowl. We gotta win a little better.” The Vikings acquired tight end T.J. Hockenson from the Detroit Lions to strengthen their offense. The Minnesota Vikings have a difficult journey ahead with matchups against the Bills Mafia and the 6-2 Dallas Cowboys.
