Kirk Cousins didn’t play in the Vikings’ first preseason game Thursday night, but still found a way to turn himself into a meme thanks to some hilarious sideline antics.
Cousins, like other Vikings players sitting out, rocked his jersey without pads for the contest while supporting backup quarterbacks Nick Mullens and Jaren Hall. But the 34-year-old took things one step further, wearing his fully strapped helmet while on the sideline. The NFL Network broadcast crew caught footage of Cousins in almost-full uniform, and fans had plenty of jokes about the oft-memed quarterback.
