    The Atlanta Falcons’ primetime Week 5 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was a nail-biter throughout and required yet another memorable comeback.

    And as NFL fans have already seen during the early stages of the 2024 NFL season, Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins was up for the challenge.

    After throwing an interception that nearly cost the Falcons a chance to at least force overtime, Cousins bounced back by leading his team down the field for a last-second field goal. Then, in overtime, the 36-year-old signal-caller needed four plays to complete the comeback, throwing a 45-yard touchdown pass to KhaDarel Hodge for the walk-off victory.

    It was a moment worthy of bringing back one of the most memorable one-liners of Cousins' career, and the scene didn't disappoint.

    As Cousins entered the locker room with his teammates ready to celebrate, he dropped the iconic "You like that?!" which sent everyone into a frenzy.

    Cousins threw for 509 yards and four touchdowns in the 36-30 overtime victory, and his performance had teammates using the one-liner to show him love. Specifically, wide receiver Drake London shouted it while stating he feels "like Kirko Chainz."

    London was the top target on Thursday for Cousins, hauling in 12-of-13 targets for 154 yards and one touchdown. The Falcons had five players total at least 66 receiving yards, with London and Darnell Mooney (nine catches, 105 yards, two touchdowns) topping the 100-yard mark.
