Mike Zimmer Faced With Tall Task Of Limiting Drew Brees

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (WCCO) — The Minnesota Vikings’ divisional playoff game with New Orleans has a definite focal point.

It’s Mike Zimmer’s defense against Saints quarterback Drew Brees. There’s little doubt that whoever wins that will probably win the game.

It’s pretty simple: He’s the face of the franchise, the face of New Orleans. Drew Brees is what you think of, when you think of the Saints.

“Drew Brees has played pretty good for a long time. He’s won a Super Bowl, he’s been MVP. He’s thrown for millions of yards so I think all those things kind of sum up what he does,” Zimmer said.
