MINNEAPOLIS -- The Minnesota Vikings' offense finally hit its stride on Sunday, with a balanced attack that posted more yards than it has in any game since Teddy Bridgewater's first start last September. In the process, the Vikings answered one of coach Mike Zimmer's major challenges for Sunday's game against the Lions: take care of the football.
A game the Vikings could have won in Detroit last December turned into a 16-14 loss when Bridgewater threw a pair of costly interceptions. Zimmer spent part of his week reminding the Vikings why they'd lost that game -- and challenged them to fix several areas, including ball security.
