What Changed In The Vikings Defense At Philadelphia?

Related Topics: Minnesota Vikings, Mike Zimmer

EAGAN, Minn. (WCCO) — If there’s one thing the Minnesota Vikings have done consistently well under Mike Zimmer, it’s play good defense.

Which is why it was so weird to see it so bad in their previous three games. But that all changed on Sunday in Philadelphia, and made a huge impact. WCCO’s David McCoy tells us why it was all better again.

That was more like it, wasn’t it? More of what we’ve come to expect from the Vikings defense: Three sacks, two forced fumbles and one touchdown.

The difference? Not changes made to strategy, players said, just better execution.
