That was one wild comeback by the Minnesota Vikings.

Minnesota Wild players led the crown in the 'skol clap' just before the second half of the Vikings game against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.  Joel Eriksson Ek, Kirill Kaprizov, Jonas Brodin, and Jesper Wallstedt led the iconic chant to get fans fired up at the game.

All the Wild players wore their custom Vikings jerseys to dress the part.

After the chant, the Vikings – down 19-10 at halftime – proceeded to make a late comeback and win their season opener 39-22.

In the world of hockey, the Wild open their season on Thurs. Oct. 1 against the Nashville Predators (8 p.m. ET; MINNHL, SCRIPPS).
