The Minnesota Vikings had to come from behind to defeat the Washington Commanders on the road Sunday, winning 20-17. They trailed 17-7 early in the fourth quarter and Kirk Cousins has struggled for much of the game. Late in the first half with the Vikings driving, Cousins threw an interception. That left the Commanders fans trolling him, chanting “You like that” to him.

Well, Cousins turned it on in the fourth quarter and led the Vikings to the comeback win. According to Vikings reporter Chris Tomasson, Adam Thielen said after the game that Cousins led the “You like that” chant in the locker room.

Of course, Cousins was made famous five years ago as a member of the then Washington Redskins. After pulling off a big upset, Cousins famously yelled his now catchphrase into the camera in the tunnel.

Commanders fans certainly thought they were getting the best of Cousins for much of the game. Instead, he got the last laugh. With the win, Minnesota improved to 7-1 on the season. That's the second-best record in the NFL. Only the Philadelphia Eagles are better at 8-0.
