Lincoln Gustafson met with Minnesota Vikings Quarterback Kirk Cousins at the U.S Bank Stadium in Minneapolis ahead of his side’s Week 13 game against the New York Jets.
Gustafson went viral last week at the US Bank Stadium when the Minnesota Vikings played the New England Patriots at the venue.
The Vikings won the match, 33-26.
Who is Lincoln Gustafson?
Lincoln Gustafson is a kid from Denver, Iowa.
Age:
Gustafson was born on December 4, 2014, and is eight years old.
What is he famous for?
He wore a purple Vikings stocking cap, glasses, four plastic chains, and no shirt and was present at the U.S Bank Stadium as the Vikings faced the Patriots on Thanksgiving Day last week. The kid from Iowa drove three hours to Minneapolis with his family to attend his first Vikings game.
It was similar to what Vikings’ QB Kirk Cousins wore on the flight back home after winning against his former side, Washington Commanders in Week 9. The difference between Cousins’ and Gustafson’s dress-up was that the quarterback wore diamond chains around his neck and donned sunglasses as he danced to rap songs in the airplane.
When Gustafson was shown on the video board on Thanksgiving Day, he began to dance.
Nickname:
He is now also known as ‘Lil Kirko Chainz’.
After the game vs the Pats, Cousins told reporters, “The young kid in the stands who was shirtless, that was just tremendous. He might need to be employed as the team mascot.
Gustafson acknowledged these compliments by saying, “This would be awesome.”

The team from Minneapolis has a record of 9-2 and is atop the NFC North division. They are five games above the second-placed Detroit Lions and hold the second-best overall record in the NFC Conference, trailing only the Philadelphia Eagles who have won a league-leading 10 games so far.
