Fans loved what Kirk Cousins did on Thursday night, and they also love what he did the following morning.
First off, Cousins led his Atlanta Falcons to an improbable 36-30 comeback win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in overtime in Atlanta on Thursday night. He passed for 509 yards and 4 touchdowns, casting aside doubts about whether he could perform in primetime.
Cousins is a very relatable guy, and he stuck to that image on Friday.
Cousins was a guest on “The Dan Patrick Show” Friday, and he conducted his interview from the parking lot of a Waffle House restaurant.

That is awesome.
For those who are unfamiliar, Waffle House is a popular chain restaurant that serves Southern breakfast food. It is headquartered in the Atlanta, Ga. area and very popular in the south and midwest, with over 2,000 locations.
Fans loved just how simple and casual Cousins keeps things, like a true man of the people.

What Atlanta does to a man.

It’s hard not to like a guy who makes millions but lives like your everyday person.
Cousins has the Falcons in first place in the NFC South at 3-2, and he’s first place at your local Waffle House.
