MINNEAPOLIS -- Minnesota Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said Friday the Vikings "probably could have called something else" on the play that resulted in Teddy Bridgewater's game-ending fumble on Thursday night in Arizona, leaving the Vikings with a three-point loss while they were in field-goal range.
With 13 seconds left and no timeouts, the Vikings opted to call one more play to get kicker Blair Walsh closer than the 48-yard kick he could have attempted at the time. Zimmer and Bridgewater said Thursday night the quarterback knew he couldn't take a sack or throw over the middle of the field, so the Vikings tried to throw to the sideline.
