Kirk Cousins raises money with 'You Like That' shirtsWashington Redskins quarterback is putting his new catchphrase to good use. Matt Hazlett / Getty ImagesCBS DCDec 1, 2015 at 5:10p ETWashington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins has raised $41,000 for the International Justice Mission in an online t-shirt campaign, as reported by Cousins on Tuesday.Earlier this season, Cousins led the Redskins on a comeback win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and on his walk back to the locker room, he turned to the cameras and shouted "You like that!" Since, the line has gained notoriety nationwide as Cousins' catch phrase, so he decided to put that catchphrase to work for the greater good. Cousins initially launched the campaign back in October. He simply printed the catchphrase on some t-shirts and dropped a link on social media for where interested buyers could purchase the shirt. Cousins had a goal to sell 500 t-shirts, and he surpassed that goal by a lot -- he sold 3,973 at final count.Ex-NFL coach Billick: Kirk Cousins is the 'definition of a backup' QBBy John Breech | CBSSports.comDecember 1, 2015 7:19 pm ET Thanks to Sunday's 20-14 win over the Giants, the Washington Redskins are now tied for first place in the NFC East. At 5-6, the Redskins have already topped their win total (4) from last season.One of the biggest reasons that Washington has been able to turn things around this year is due to the play of Kirk Cousins, who's been one of the hottest quarterbacks in the NFL recently.Since Week 7, Cousins has been on fire. The Redskins leads the league in completion percentage and QB rating over that span. Plus, Cousins is now taking care of the ball. The Redskins quarterback has only thrown two interceptions over the past five games after throwing a total of eight interceptions during Washington's first six games.Although Cousins looks like the quarterback of the future in Washington, not everyone is sold on him. Former Ravens coach Brian Billick thinks that Cousins plays more like a backup quarterback than a franchise quarterback."He's a touchdown-for-interception guy, that's the definition of a backup," Billick said on Sunday, via NFL.com. "You need to make a quarterback that can make plays outside of the design of the offense ... Kirk Cousins is just a good solid guy and unfortunately for Washington, they're going to need a lot more."
