MINNEAPOLIS – Following a 31-17 come-from-behind win over the Chicago Bears, Vikings coach Mike Zimmer did not want to reflect on his career in Minnesota in what might have been his final game after eight seasons. “You want to talk about it tomorrow, then let’s talk about it tomorrow. But this isn’t time to reflect for eight years.”

Even without postseason implications on the line, the Vikings had several things to play for, including Justin Jefferson’s goal of breaking the franchise single-season receiving yards record, which has been held by Randy Moss since 2003.
