Team-First Attitude Drives Vaunted Vikings Defense

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Moments after the latest victory of the young season, a 22-10 road win over Carolina, Vikings Head Coach Mike Zimmer stood in front of his players and hammered home his message.

“This is about the team; it’s not about individuals,” Zimmer said in his postgame speech. “This isn’t about anything but the team.”

Through three games, Minnesota is a perfect 3-0 thanks to help from nearly every player on the roster.

Yet even as some players rack up eye-popping statistics, all they care about is the Vikings walking away with a win.
