Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer has launched a charitable foundation in his name and in honor of his late wife.

Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer missed practice on Friday to undergo a minor procedure, but will return to the team tomorrow.

The Detroit Lions are playing some dominant defense. With Ezekiel Ansah and Ndamukong Suh leading a relentless rush, the Lions had eight sacks and three interceptions of Minnesota rookie Teddy Bridgewater in a 17-3 victory over the Vikings on Sunday.

Teddy Bridgewater wants to win, of course, a given when it comes to any NFL player's public commentary. The other stated goal this week? To make that absence from the field a one-game blip.

That sprained left ankle was not about to spoil Teddy Bridgewater's first career start for the Minnesota Vikings. Bridgewater didn't finish what he started, but he was good enough that his departure didn't matter. The rookie passed for 317 yards and a key 2-point conversion, and the Vikings rode a resurgent running game to beat the Atlanta Falcons 41-28 on Sunday.

The Minnesota Vikings released Jerome Simpson on Thursday following the revelation of more trouble for the wide receiver: three misdemeanors related to a previously unreported incident this summer.

The St. Louis Rams were determined not to let Adrian Peterson embarrass them again. The Minnesota Vikings found another way to catch them with their pants down.

As an undrafted free agent, Zach Line beat the odds and made the Minnesota Vikings active roster. This season, he is coming off an injury, and looking to impress once again at his second training camp in Mankato.

Matt Cassel was crisp from the start, giving Teddy Bridgewater a model touchdown drive to watch. Bridgewater showed his age, aside from a few flashes of brilliance, and that's the early snapshot of the Minnesota Vikings starting quarterback competition.
