EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — A day after his team suffered its third straight loss, Vikings Head Coach Mike Zimmer said he saw numerous glimpses of hope for the final eight regular-season games.
No, the Vikings didn’t win, as Zimmer pointed out. The head coach also acknowledged a handful of mistakes in all three phases.
But Zimmer said he felt like the Vikings looked more like the team that started the season with five straight wins than the one that took the field in losses to Philadelphia and Chicago.
He explained his reasoning with a 300-plus word response, highlighting the emotional ebbs and flows that a football team endures over a full four-month season.
