'You like that?!': Kirk Cousins brings back signature line in postgame speech to Vikings image

The last time Kirk Cousins went viral shouting "You like that?" was after a Week 7 comeback win in 2015 as a member of the Redskins. That remark targeted those who had doubted him in the opening stretch of his first season as Washinton's full-time starter.

His team lost in the first round of the playoffs that year, though, and he struggled to build on his midseason success.

Now the starting quarterback of the Vikings, Cousins broke out his catchphrase once again. This time, it came after a 26-20 postseason victory over the Saints in which he threw the winning touchdown pass in overtime. He addressed his teammates in the locker room rather than a hallway camera.

"That's how we've won all year," Cousins told his fired-up squad in the locker room after the win. "A team, right? (Defense) held them to 20 points, man. Gave us a chance at the end. I've got three words for you: You like that?"

For reference, here's the clip of Cousins from 2015:

Cousins was not just a passenger for his first playoff win on Sunday. He contributed to the effort by going 19 of 31 through the air with the decisive overtime touchdown pass to Kyle Rudolph. He did not commit a turnover in a tough road environment.

Beating the 49ers next weekend in the NFC divisional round would be another huge boost to Cousins' resume. The Vikings would certainly like that.
