The Minnesota Vikings made a bold move prior to their NFL Week 15 game against the Miami Dolphins.
Their offense had been stopped cold the week in a Monday night loss to the Seattle Seahawks, and in that game, the Vikes had eschewed the run and put nearly all of the pressure on quarterback Kirk Cousins to drive the offense.
In reaction, the Vikings decided to fire offensive John DeFilippo and replace him with quarterback coach Kevin Stefanski. The results were dramatic, as running back Dalvin Cook ran for 136 yards and two touchdowns, and Minnesota registered a 41-17 victory.
