Shirtless Kirk Cousins starts Vikings game vs. Packers with Gjallarhorn blow

With the Minnesota Vikings fighting for their playoff lives on Sunday Night Football against the Green Bay Packers, the already-electric atmosphere got a little pre-game boost by none other than Kirk Cousins himself.

A shirtless Cousins, adorned in an impressive chain, led the home crowd in the customary “Skol” chant to start off the festivities and hyping up the crowd, then blew the giant Gjallarhorn to signify the start of the game.

With Cousins in the building, getting the crowd hyped for the most important game of the Vikings season, here’s hoping it’s a good omen for the team. With a win against the Packers and a win next week against the Detroit Lions, the Vikings will cap off a surprising season with a playoff berth.
