Head coach Mike Zimmer was embarrassed by his team's defensive performance in 2020. The Vikings ranked 29th in points allowed last year, and that number was further underlined by ranking 27th in yards allowed per play. The performance has been dispiriting for Vikings fans, and downright depressing for head coach Mike Zimmer, who made his name in the NFL as one of the top defensive minds. The performance was underscored by Alvin Kamara’s five rushing touchdowns, and the Saints added two more rushing touchdowns. Zimmer has pledged a schematic change to this year’s defensive team as well as the personnel moves.
