MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Remember Alex Loehlein, the little boy whose letter to Vikings coach Mike Zimmer went viral last season?
“Dear, Mr. Zimmer, thanks for letting me watch your practice last Saturday, it was fun. The players were nice and signed my Viking helmet. My grandpa said to expect good luck for you because you have used up all of your bad luck already. ALEX.”
You also might recall that the Vikings won their very next game and Zimmer awarded the game balls to Alex and his grandpa.
And they’ve pretty much been rolling ever since.
