Watch: Commanders QB Taylor Heinicke gets the Kirk Cousins treatment after beating Eagles

Kirk Cousins is perhaps the most meme-able quarterback in the NFL. If "You like that?" didn't do it for you, Cousins wearing 10 pounds of chains around his neck while dancing shirtless on the team plane will.

If Cousins is the meme King, though, Washington Commanders quarterback Taylor Heinicke is coming for his crown.

Fresh off leading his Commanders to a stunning 32-21 win over the previously unbeaten Philadelphia Eagles on the road, Heinicke was given the "Kirk Cousins treatment" on Washington's plane ride back home.

He didn't go shirtless, and kudos to him for that, but Heinicke was strapped up with chain after chain as he drank Busch Lights out of a garbage can that was turned into a makeshift cooler in the seat next to him.

Heinicke completed 17-of-29 passes for 211 yards with one interception in the win against Philly.

Move over Kirk, there's a new meme king in town.
