Two days after the season-ending loss to the Seahawks, coach Mike Zimmer made it clear that changes would be coming to the subpar Vikings offensive line, starting with the parting of veteran line coach Jeff Davidson.
No quarterback was pressured more frequently than Teddy Bridgewater, who was under duress on 46.9 percent of his dropbacks, according to Pro Football Focus. He was sacked 44 times, sixth-most in the league.
The offensive line’s run blocking was better, paving the way for running back Adrian Peterson to lead the NFL in rushing for the third time in his career.
