Zimmer: Loss to Carolina gave Vikings' sense of urgency...
To a man, the Minnesota Vikings have said that last season’s collapse influenced their success this season.
Head coach Mike Zimmer said Wednesday that the team’s road loss to the Carolina Panthers acted as another reminder of how quickly things can change.
“What I talked to them about was, two weeks ago we lost and we had a new sense of urgency and a new focus,” Zimmer said. “That’s what we need to do again. Just because we won this last week doesn’t mean we can go back to the way we were and end up getting beat.”
The Vikings still have plenty to play for as they chase home field advantage in the playoffs.
“It’s extremely important,” tight end Kyle Rudolph said. “Our first goal was to win the NFC North and clinch our berth into the playoffs. Now it’s about seeding.”
