The Minnesota Vikings entered Week 15 of the 2017 NFL season in a good position. Sitting on top of the NFC North and having the second-best record in the NFC is a great place to be, but they also had the opportunity to win the division at home with a victory on Sunday, December 17, 2017.
But that wouldn’t be easy. The Vikings faced off against their head coach’s former team, the Cincinnati Bengals. Zimmer was the defensive coordinator in Cincinnati under coach Marvin Lewis and looked to get that win.
In a game with so much on the line, there were bound to be some big plays from Minnesota on both the offensive and defensive side of the ball that will end up on being shown multiple times as highlights.
