The Minnesota Vikings have a tradition before every home game where a special guest blows the Gjallahorn. It usually is a former player or a celebrity.
On Sunday night, it was neither of those. It was quarterback Kirk Cousins and his son Cooper. They didn’t just lead the SKOL chant and blow the Gjallahorn, they did so without their shirts on and Cousins had a huge gold chain around his neck.

Through the first four seasons Cousins spent in Minnesota, Cousins was never fully embraced publically by the team or the fanbase. That has certainly changed the last two seasons.
Twitter absolutely loved Cousins and his son sounding the Gjallahorn and showed just how much the fanbase loves the starting quarterback.
It’s hard not to like Kirk Cousins. https://t.co/PKsouFhqn4

I’m just getting ready to watch this game, look up at the screen, and there’s a shirtless Kirk Cousins leading a stadium full of people in some sort of clapping ritual. Football is the best.
