CINCINNATI — There was plenty of purple in the crowd for a second straight day, but red — as in red zone — was the color that the Vikings and Bengals had in mind on Thursday during the second of two joint practices.
The shoulder-pads only session was quick, lasting for about an hour that also included stretching and installation sessions, but it provided more good work, according to Vikings Head Coach Mike Zimmer and quarterback Teddy Bridgewater.
“I thought they were good. [Bengals Head Coach] Marvin (Lewis) is great friend of mine and we have the utmost respect for Cincinnati and the Bengals,” said Zimmer, who was defensive coordinator of the Bengals from 2008-13.
