EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- Minnesota Vikings offensive coordinator Norv Turner defended his play call at the end of the Vikings' 23-20 loss to the Arizona Cardinals last Thursday, saying it has worked for the team in the past and adding quarterback Teddy Bridgewater -- who was stripped of the ball on the play -- needed to throw quicker.
Coach Mike Zimmer told reporters last Friday "in retrospect, (we) probably could have called something else or we could have kicked the field goal" at the end of the game, and said on his weekly radio appearance with KFAN-FM that he didn't like the call.
