Reasons were plentiful for 2018 Vikings' struggles

A year ago, Mike Zimmer coached the Vikings to a 13-3 record — their second NFC North Division title in four years — and a berth in the NFC Championship Game.

Apparently a lot of the NFL experts believe Zimmer no longer knows how to coach because of the Vikings' 8-7-1 record this season.

But when you look at the NFC North standings for the past five seasons, you find the Vikings have the division's best overall record at 47-32-1. Green Bay is 45-34-1, Detroit 42-38 and Chicago 31-49 after going 12-4 this season to win the division title.
