MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — It’s hard to argue that Mike Zimmer doesn’t have a point.
The Vikings ran just 13 times against the Patriots, despite the game being tied until late in the third quarter — hardly desperation pass-happy time.
Dalvin Cook averaged more than nine yards a carry, yet only got nine carries.
He hasn’t gotten more than 10 since returning from injury, but it’s worth pointing out he’s been woefully ineffective in as many games as he’s been good.
So, as Zimmer’s public criticism of his offensive coordinator’s play-calling continues, it was worth asking: Is it just coming after the fact?
