Vikings coach Mike Zimmer opened his news conference Tuesday saying he hoped the media was getting more sleep than him.
As Minnesota tried to whitewash its 38-7 loss to Seattle, it was preparing for the NFC West-leading Cardinals with two fewer practices and a long flight to Arizona looming for Thursday night's game.
Zimmer and his coaches went straight from TCF Bank Stadium following Sunday's loss to Winter Park to cram three days of game-planning into an overnight crash session.
He finally went home Monday night.
"Yeah, I did go home last night for a little bit," he said.
