From a few days ago — 3rd Down and Mike Zimmer are delectable.
If Mike Zimmer gets you to a 3rd down, it’s basically game over. Even in the year that he himself will tell you they were awful, they were still elite on 3rd.
Didn’t make much difference when they rarely forced a 3rd down… but that *should* change this year. pic.twitter.com/mqh3Qw8R25

Two yucky stats.
3) The Minnesota Vikings have the most playoff losses in the history of the NFL (30).
They also have the most playoff wins (21) of teams that have NOT won a Super Bowl.

High Praise for Xavier Woods.
*I think he means like this style of defense, and uh, how well he did so or how similar they were is not really material to the point anyway. (don't look up how well those defenses did I beseech you)
