Kirk Cousins and the Minnesota Vikings were able to upset the New Orleans Saints on Sunday and Cousins sent a message to his critics. In the locker room after the game, Cousins brought back the ‘you like that' phrase after Minnesota's incredible overtime win.
Freaking awesome. Would be more than fine for the Vikings to have a nice long playoff run.

No one expected Minnesota to walk into the Mercedes-Benz Superdome and take down the Saints. But Cousins was able to momentarily silence the people who have been disparaging his play over the past couple of seasons.
The veteran signal-caller delivered an accurate strike to Adam Thielen to set the Vikings up at the two-yard line. Then, just a few plays later, Cousins sent the Saints home after connecting with Kyle Rudolph for the game-winning score.
Of course, the ‘you like that' phrase from Cousins began during his time with the Washington Redskins. With the way he performed in overtime, Cousins deserves to pat his own back. At the same time, if Minnesota gets eliminated, Cousins better prepare himself to hear “you like that” from an opposing player.
