Some leftovers from the Minnesota Vikings’ 37-10 loss to the Green Bay Packers included a halftime discussion that occurred between coach Mike Zimmer and offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak.
According to Zimmer, the Packers were playing a shell defense where they basically begged the Vikings to run the football. But instead of putting the ball into the hands of three-time Pro Bowl running back Dalvin Cook, Kubiak started getting a bit too pass-happy.
“We ran the ball nine times yesterday and two quarterback runs. So we ran 11 times in the whole course of the ballgame,” said Zimmer, when speaking with media members on Monday.
