EAGAN, Minn. -- Mike Zimmer theorized the Vikings may have too much "volume" within their offensive playbook a day after the team dropped its third primetime game of the season, a 25-20 loss at Chicago.
Zimmer said Monday he took a closer look at some of the areas where his team has experienced continued struggles, and why the offense sputtered in Chicago at the hand of miscommunications, a lack of explosive plays, turnovers and broken plays.
While it's understandably taken the Vikings offense time to gel in new offensive coordinator John DeFilippo's system, Zimmer concluded the amount of plays Minnesota is installing weekly may have an effect on some of its inefficacy.
