The last time the Bucs faced Kirk Cousins on the road, he stopped on his way to the post-game locker room and bellowed to the assembled media:

“You like that?” Cousins crowed. The Bucs were not amused on that shocking afternoon in 2015.

Cousins had just led Washington back from a 24-0 deficit, throwing for three second-half touchdowns in an improbable 31-30 triumph. Tampa Bay was 2-3 and coming off a bye week when Cousins found tight end Jordan Reed from six yards out for the winning score with only 24 seconds remaining.

It was Reed’s 11th catch of the day as Lovie Smith’s Bucs self-destructed with 16 penalties. [read more]

Joe laughs at Peter King and others who think the Falcons are going to roll to a division title this season. [read more]
