Vikings coach Mike Zimmer wary of beaten-down Lions

Vikings coach Mike Zimmer is a self-proclaimed chronic worrier. Even when heading to Detroit to play a Lions team that’s 5-9, physically beaten down to a nub and only seven weeks removed from scoring a season-low nine points in a 10-sack mauling at U.S. Bank Stadium.
