IN-GAME
Halftime:
Players were able to invite two guests with ties to their My Cause My Cleats organizations to Sunday's game. Those guests will be recognized, and there will be a special tribute to Tom Schultz.
Tom was a statistician for the Minnesota Vikings for 25 years who suffered a fatal brain aneurysm in 2014 at age 56. In his death and through his decision to become an organ donor, Tom provided the miracle of life for Quinton Jones, a native of Bermuda who traveled to the Mayo Clinic in hopes of receiving a life-saving heart and liver transplant.
Quinton was in the final stages of his life when he learned that Tom's organs were a match. Quinton became a Vikings fan to honor the life of the man whose heart beats inside him. Quinton will attend the game with Tom's family.
