Whether it was performance, solo player output, or anything football-related at all, not much about the Minnesota Vikings 2020 season was underrated.
The team was picked by sportsbooks to win about 9 to 10 games — the same forecast as the Green Bay Packers — but Mike Zimmer’s team instead tallied its worst year to date under his reign. Minnesota finished 7-9 after a terrible 1-5 start to the season, closing out the campaign with a topsy-turvy 6-4 record in the final 10 games.
The season was chalked up to “oh well” and a slew of injuries, but now Zimmer is out of pardons.
