The week of practice is over and the Vikings are nearly set for their contest against the St. Louis Rams on Sunday. Here’s what we learned this week about the Vikings-Rams matchup in Week 9.
Vikings, Rams a lot alike
Vikings Head Coach Mike Zimmer opened his Wednesday press conference by commenting that the St. Louis Rams are similar to his team. Solid defense, an emphasis on running the ball and an ability to put pressure on the QB were elements Zimmer mentioned. The numbers support Zimmer’s assertion.
The Vikings rank 2nd in points allowed, 6th in total defense, 7th in passing defense and have surrendered a 90.
