The Minnesota Vikings have lost four consecutive games since starting 5-0, so it’s understandable that things might be getting a bit tight in the locker room.
Coach Mike Zimmer is doing his best to keep that from happening by cracking jokes. At least, we hope they’re jokes.
Mike Zimmer: "They asked me on the Arizona conference call how i keep the team mentally stable. Well, I have to worry about myself.''

We’re assuming Zimmer is just trying to add a little levity here, but he’s been pretty blunt about the state of things lately. Maybe he’s trying to alleviate some of the pressure on his struggling team. One thing Zimmer certainly knows is that his team has to arrest their slide soon, as they’ve already fallen out of first place in the NFC North.
