A few weeks ago, Kirk Cousins and his wife, Julie, announced they were expecting a child in an original way, but they topped that Friday when they revealed the gender of the arrival that’s expected in September.

In an Instagram post, Cousins used a no-step drop to deliver a toy football at a box painted with a gigantic question mark, and even though his throw was low and almost off target completely, the family – including the dog – seemed thrilled with the color that exploded when the ball made contact.

Blue means boy, we’re guessing, and here’s hoping Kirk won’t still be waiting on that long-term contract he’s been wanting when his son arrives around the time the season starts.

As for the dog, he’s been on board with having a brother from the beginning.
