Kirk Cousins rocking Vikings jacket: 'My wife dresses me'
The stylings of Kirk Cousins continues to amaze as he's gone from Boring Kirk wearing a plaid button-down shirt to Kirko Chainz in no shirt with diamond necklaces and now Christmas Kirk in his very colorful purple jacket patterned with dozens of Vikings logos.
"My wife dresses me. She put it out last night and I looked at her like, 'I don't know.' She nodded, 'You gotta do it.' So here we are. Yeah, fun jacket," Cousins said at the podium following his 460-yard, 4-touchdown performance in the Vikings' record-setting comeback victory over the Colts on Saturday.
The jacket, looking like a Vikings-themed page in a Where's Waldo book, has been waiting quite some time to make an appearance.
"I don't even know," Cousins claimed when asked how long he's had it. "It's been in our closet a little while, honestly. But I don't even know when we got it. My wife could answer that probably."
Had the Vikings lost, Cousins would not have worn the jacket to the postgame press conference.
