Vikings Defensive Line Shows Depth In Division Win

Vikings Head Coach Mike Zimmer likes to preach that his team is collection of high-character and hard-working players who don’t rely on any one person.

That mindset was on display Sunday night, especially on the Vikings defensive line.

Andrew Krammer of the Star Tribune looked at how the rotation of talent along the defensive line helped the Vikings get a win against the Packers.

The defensive line played particularly well despite being down starting tackle Sharrif Floyd, who was held out because of a knee injury. Defensive end Danielle Hunter was also forced out for a few series … before returning, stretching a deep line even further.
