Kirk Cousins definitely isn’t interested in screaming “You like that?!?!” after his embarrassing faux pas on Saturday night.
Up by six with just seconds left on the clock down at the six-yard line of the Philadelphia Eagles, with no timeouts left, Cousins took a knee, thus ending the half.

When head coach Jay Gruden was asked about the play, his response was classic.
"I don't know why Kirk took a knee. We'll have to find out at halftime."

It was a complete brain fart. There is no other explanation. Cousins simply dropped the ball, so to speak, and now he has egg on his face.
The best part about the entire thing? Cousins tried to play it off like he actually didn’t take a knee and spiked the ball afterwards, hoping that maybe the referees didn’t see the first part.
Nice try.
