Watch: Cousins asks Redskins GM, 'How you like me now?!'

A fired up postgame Kirk Cousins has become a staple of significant Washington Redskins victories.

After Washington's 42-24 win over the Green Bay Packers, the quarterback added a new soundbite to his growing collection, with this one directed at Redskins general manager Scot McCloughan.

"How you like me now?!" Cousins shouted in McCloughan's ear as the two embraced after the win. "How you like me now?!"

"Hey, I appreciate you," McCloughan said, according to The Washington Post's Scott Allen. "That's good stuff, man."

While it's unlikely Cousins intended his words to have any deeper meaning, it's notable given the fact McCloughan was the man who deemed the quarterback unworthy of a long-term extension this past offseason, and who'll decide after this campaign whether the pivot has done enough to earn one.

That hair ruffle, though, a clear power move.
