Vikings defender Kris Boyd doesn’t consider imitation as the most sincere form of flattery.
On Tuesday, the Minnesota cornerback ripped the Commanders on Twitter following their win over the Eagles on “Monday Night Football,” when Washington quarterback Taylor Heinicke was seen dripping in diamond chains on the team charter – much like Vikings star Kirk Cousins has done in his victory laps.
“Stop trynna f–king be us…Lames…He couldn’t hold Kirk jockstrap!!” Boyd posted.

Cousins, who has helped lead the Vikings to an 8-1 start, has become a viral sensation this season, thanks in part to his postgame celebration of rocking chains on planes.
For last weekend’s celebrations, however, Minnesota cornerback Patrick Peterson took over for Cousins instead, as he helped the Vikings capture their wild overtime win against the Bills on Sunday after intercepting Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen in the endzone.
