The Vikings improved their record to 2–4 after Week 6's 19–13 win over the Bears. After the game, quarterback Kirk Cousins credited an unusual source of inspiration in getting Minnesota prepared to play.
"Garrett Bradbury, in the locker room pregame, took a clip from the Texas Rangers and made sure that Creed got played before we went out on the field and I felt like that may have made the difference, so we got that going for us," Cousins told reporters, per Bring Me the Sports.
Cousins revealed that Creed's 1999 hit "Higher" was the tune that pumped up the Vikings before they took the field at Chicago, although there were many songs from which players could choose.
