Xavier Rhodes: Vikings D played like 'trash' in NFC Championship rout

PHILADELPHIA -- Mike Zimmer was quick to shoulder the blame after Minnesota's 38-7 loss in the NFC Championship.

The Vikings' coach was asked about Case Keenum's rough performance postgame, then about right tackle Rashod Hill a few questions later. Zimmer was adamant that he was not going to grade his players Sunday night on the way they played. For the time being, Zimmer pointed the finger at himself for the things that went wrong against in Philadelphia against the Eagles.

“I think there was a lot of performances that could have been a lot better, including myself,” Zimmer said.
