The Vikings are a good team. They have been for years.
They haven’t had a losing record since 2014, Mike Zimmer’s first season as head coach, and even then they went 7-9 while breaking in a rookie quarterback, Teddy Bridgewater, who was forced into action by an injury to Matt Cassel.
The Vikings should be good again in 2020. And if they are, they will deserve some kind of award for crisis management. The trophy could be a gold statue of Stefon Diggs faking a cough.
Tuesday, the Vikings restructured the contract of left tackle Riley Reiff after reportedly threatening to release him.
