The Denver Broncos head east this weekend to take on the Washington Redskins, but instead of the usual trash-talk, we’ve been getting something decidedly different.
In anticipation of his Week 16 matchup, Broncos cornerback Aqib Talib sized up quarterback Kirk Cousins with these interesting remarks via The Denver Post’s Nicki Jhabvala:

Talib wasn’t the only Bronco fawning over the Redskins’ quarterback. All-Pro linebacker Von Miller also praised Cousins as “elite.”
With not a lot to work with at times as far as reliable pass-catchers, Cousins remains in the upper echelon of accurate quarterbacks. He is completing 66.1 percent of his passes. Only four quarterbacks currently still starting for their teams boast higher completion rates.
Of course this week, Talib will be aiming to put a stop to Cousins’ passing game.
The matchup also presents the opportunity for the Broncos to observe Cousins live in action. Cousins is a name that has been connected with the Broncos as far as a potential future quarterback.
