The Vikings brass can breathe a bit easier heading into Sunday's Wild Card Weekend matchup with the New Orleans Saints knowing their jobs are safe whether they win or lose.
Minnesota owner and president Mark Wilf announced Friday he will retain head coach Mike Zimmer and general manager Rick Spielman next season.
"We value Mike and Rick's leadership and we have every intent of Mike continuing as the head coach of the Minnesota Vikings and Rick leading our football operations, next year and beyond," Wolf said in a statement.
