In a notable pre-game moment, Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins and his four-year-old son appeared shirtless on the U.S. Bank Stadium's big screen, energizing the home crowd. Cousins, known for his 'You like that?!' catchphrase, took the unconventional step of sounding the Gjallarhorn without a shirt, a move that got the stadium roaring. However, despite Cousins' efforts to hype up the Minnesota fans before their crucial game against the Green Bay Packers, the Vikings were outscored 23-3 in the first halves that have featured such an introduction by Cousins.
