The entire Internet knew exactly what was on Taylor Heinicke’s mind after his game-winning score against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.
The Washington Commanders QB Heinicke was the hero in his team’s Week 8 showdown with the Colts. He threw for 279 yards and a touchdown and also added another touchdown on the ground with 22 seconds left in the fourth quarter that gave Washington a 17-16 lead (after kicker Joey Slye capped off the drive with an extra point).

The Commanders won the game by that same 17-16 score after the Colts ran out of time, which meant great news for Heinicke. The veteran signal-caller gets a nice bonus for every Commanders win in which he plays at least 60 percent of the snaps. Heinicke has also said that he uses part of his bonus money to buy new Air Jordans … in the colors of the team he just beat.
As a result, everyone online made the same joke about Heinicke’s imminent addition of new blue-and-white Air Jordans (the Colts’ team colors).

Heinicke already showed up to his press conference last week with some rocking Air Jordans in the colors of the team that he beat in Week 7. Now Heinicke has set himself up for a well-deserved encore performance as well.
