EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. – As far as the Vikings are concerned, they’ll be kicking off an 11-week season when they face the Eagles at noon (CT) Sunday in Philadelphia.

Zimmer has consistently emphasized the importance of taking one week at a time, and he reiterated it to his players when they returned to practice Monday after their Week 6 bye.

“I think it’s 0-0 now, and we start a new season,” Zimmer told Twin Cities media members. “You just forget about what has happened in the past, and we start moving on.”

While the Vikings are the only undefeated team remaining in the NFL, Zimmer’s message is that it’s early in the season, and a team should never become complacent.
