Kirk Cousins wants more Creed, not just "Higher"

NFL on FOX pairs the quarterback's plea for a broader playlist with the Vikings' very familiar practice soundtrack.

What did you think?

Does Creed have to mean the same song at every practice? Kirk Cousins would like Minnesota's music selectors to explore a little further.

"They keep playing Higher, and I'm going, Creed has a lot of hits," he says at the press conference featured in NFL on FOX's Short. "They got a good catalog. We don't have to only play Higher."

The edit supplies its answer immediately: black-and-white press conference footage gives way to color on the Vikings' practice field, where players stretch and run drills with "Higher" blasting over the speakers. Cousins' first practice back comes with a soundtrack he knows very well.

Credited to the Vikings and reporter Alec Lewis, the clip has reached nearly half a million views. Its estimated first-day audience was more than twenty times the channel's usual Shorts start.

The comments follow both parts of the story. Viewers discuss seeing Cousins back in purple, with some identifying themselves as Packers or Lions supporters while wishing him well. Others stay firmly on playlist duty: several pick up on the choice of "Higher" after his request, and one points out that Creed also has a song called "Full Circle." For this particular homecoming, there was another option.
