Kirk Cousins ​​used Taylor Rooks' swag surfing lessons after win over Bucs

Thursday Night Football featured a standout performance from Kirk Cousins, who posted a franchise-record 509 passing yards and four touchdowns on and off the field in the club's 36-30 overtime victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Cousins, who has become something of a cult hero among NFL fans, particularly after he draped his teammates' expensive jewelry around his neck on the flight home from a game in London in November 2022, was at it again Thursday night.

The Falcons quarterback not only repeated his classic “You like that!” but to celebrate the victory, he also began Swag Surfin, a dance based on the hip-hop song by Fast Life Youngstaz (FLY), a rapper and native Georgian, based.

When asked about the dance after the game, Cousins ​​explained to reporters that Amazon Prime Video reporter Taylor Rooks taught him how to swag surf during an interview.

“It’s so much fun,” Cousins ​​said. “That's why you play. That's why you play and this week Taylor Rooks from Amazon taught me to sit down with her and she's from Atlanta and she taught me how to do that.”

“What matters is when the rhythm slows down. At first it just starts and makes everyone in the stadium aware of it, but when the rhythm slows down, it really gets going. And I know it's a good energy. There’s a lot of good songs that they play during the game.

“But this one does it for me.”

And in case anyone's wondering, here's Cousins ​​learning the ins and outs of Swag Surfin' from Rooks at 3:25 in the interview.

Great.

Cousins, who looked better each week as he continued to recover from a torn Achilles tendon last season, and the Falcons improved to 3-2 with Thursday's win. Atlanta will travel to Carolina to take on the Panthers in Week 6.
