EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Vikings Head Coach Mike Zimmer spoke earlier this offseason about how he wants Minnesota’s offense to be more efficient near the goal line.
Statistics back up Zimmer’s point. The Vikings scored touchdowns on 14 of their 22 possessions inside the 5-yard line, which equates to a success rate of 63.6 percent.
Zimmer made those comments in February, and the Vikings kicked off free agency by signing Riley Reiff and Mike Remmers to bolster the offensive line.
The pair of new offensive linemen — as well as new running back Latavius Murray — could help the Vikings inside the 5-yard line.
