The Monday morning film sessions begin at 5:30 a.m., when coach Mike Zimmer congregates with his coaching staff to study for the Vikings’ next opponent and review the previous day’s game in search of the plays that hurt them.
Early this season, those film sessions revealed a pattern: Every team the Vikings were about to play had the same approach.
“I guess the best way to say it is when you’re watching these other teams, the offenses you’re getting ready to play, and they’re all attacking with basically the same combination, route combination and things,” Zimmer said.
