The expectations of the Minnesota Vikings are much higher these days thanks to head coach Mike Zimmer.
In 2013, the Minnesota Vikings were a joke of a team. The offense was more run-focused than it is today, passing the ball was a hilarious fantasy, and playing defense was optional.
Minnesota began the 2013 season by losing seven of their first eight games and it was a string of matchups that just featured one disaster after another. The Vikings ended the year with a 5-10-1 record that included a tie in Week 12 against the Green Bay Packers, who were led by future Hall of Fame quarterback Scott Tolzien.
