Kirk Cousins revived his alter ego 'Kirko Chainz' after the Las Vegas Raiders defeated the New York Jets 38-33, snapping a four-game losing streak. On the flight home, Cousins let his teammates drape expensive chains and watches over him, a tradition that originated in 2022 with the Minnesota Vikings. The quarterback recorded four total touchdowns in the win and credited the celebration to bringing joy to the locker room.
Teammates like Dylan Laube, Eric Stokes, and Maxx Crosby participated, with Crosby calling Cousins 'one of the funnier dudes you'll ever meet.' Cousins also led In-N-Out Burger trips after wins, treating players like Fernando Mendoza and Kolton Miller postgame. His 'wellness' touchdown celebration was inspired by Laube, whom Cousins jokes he steals ideas from. The return of Kirko Chainz symbolizes a cultural shift toward enjoying the game amid a 4-4 season record.
