When Vikings Territory teammates Brett Anderson and Austin Belisle booked their tickets to travel from the west coast to Minneapolis, they expected to see a playoff-destined team coached by Mike Zimmer destroy the Dallas Cowboys and their rookie quarterback.
The joke is on them.
The Vikings released a statement late Wednesday night indicating that the downward plummet that has been the post-bye 2016 season now might include the absence of Mike Zimmer on the sidelines Thursday night.
[quote_center]Eden Prairie, MN (November 30, 2016) – Mike Zimmer is having emergency eye surgery tonight. His status for coaching tomorrow’s game is uncertain. I have met with the coaches and players and we have a contingency plan in place if Mike is unable to coach against Dallas.[/quote_center]
Spielman is expected to address the media, updating them on the situation, Thursday morning.
Vikings Territory extends their best wishes to Coach Zimmer and collectively hope this emergency is temporary in every possible way.
