Kirk Cousins Wants To Avoid Becoming 'Flash In The Pan'

Jan 28, 2016 7:02 PM

Kirk Cousins has no expectations for his next contract.

“I don’t have any expectations,” Cousins said at the Washington Auto Show Wednesday night. “I just go forward knowing my job was to play football the best I could and whatever I do on the field will speak for itself.

“I just play football and try to find completions and avoid sacks and protect the football and win games. Hopefully I can do that at a high level. We’ll let the rest take care of itself.”

Cousins emerged this season as a starter quality quarterback.

“It does remind you of great moments in the season and positive things,” he said. “The key is to keep that going and for it not to be a flash in the pan or be a one-day deal, but that it could last and be something people can expect to see around here for a long time.”
