The Minnesota Vikings thought they had a sweet idea with a TikTok challenge for fans to “catch” a virtual pass from Kirk Cousins. Then, one fan seized the opportunity to turn that into a savage burn.
The Gridiron Twitter account captured the moment perfectly.
This elite-level troll job comes courtesy of “austincraig42” on TikTok. Many fans treasured the comedic response, while others rushed to Cousins’ defense.
Here are the best reactions.
For what it’s worth, Cousins has been quite accurate over the course of his career and has some beautiful deep passes on his resume (watch here).
All told, he’s completed 66.9% of his passes for 24,107 yards with 155 touchdowns and 71 interceptions in 93 career games with the Washington NFL franchise and the Vikings.
