Mike Zimmer took it personally. Having the 29th ranked defense overall did not sit well with the Vikings head coach or the front office. Not only did the Vikings draft very well this off-season, they picked up some elite veterans on defense that will not only propel the Vikings back to their usual level on the defensive side of the ball but a potential run at a championship.
The Vikings were 25th or less in pass defense and run defense. Something Vikings fans are not used to at all. Usually, it’s the defense that keeps us in games and the offense is struggling to move the ball.
