Zimmer also touched on Arizona pass rusher Chandler Jones. He finished Week 1’s win over Tennessee with five sacks, six quarterback hurries and two forced fumbles to earn NFC Defensive Player of the Week.

As for the double-digit penalties that his team committed in the loss at Cincinnati, Zimmer said that he’s not against running players more.

The 0-1 Vikings play at the 1-0 Cardinals at 3:05 p.m. Sunday. Every team in the NFC North went winless in Week 1.
