EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — The priority during the bye week for Minnesota Vikings coach Mike Zimmer and his staff was not difficult to discern.
Pass defense that has uncharacteristically been a problem in several recent games needed some work.
“We spent a lot of time with it,” said Zimmer, who directed some “re-teaching” of techniques and responsibilities in practice and meetings this week with the defensive players after they returned from their break.
Improvement will be of immediate importance with the impending road trip to face Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks on Monday night. The eighth-year quarterback, who has already won a Super Bowl and been picked for Pro Bowls, has put together a next-level season.
