MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Vikings will return to the comfort of their new stadium this weekend, lugging some heavy baggage with them.
Four straight losses can weigh on a team that was undefeated before the streak started, dampening a Super Bowl aspiration at full strength just last month.
“Right now, there’s pressure on everybody,” Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said. “My dad told me a long time ago, ‘If you make it through the downs, the ups will take care of itself.’ So we’re just going to keep doing what we do. If we get backed up into a corner, we’re going to come out and fight.
