So, as Zimmer's public criticism of his offensive coordinator's play-calling continues, it was worth asking: Is it just coming after the fact? Or how much is Zimmer stepping in during the game to offer direction and to tell John DeFilippo what he wants?
Kirk Cousins kept Minnesota in the game early, before faltering down the stretch. He finished 32 of 44 for 201 yards and touchdown but had two late interceptions.
The statistics are simply ridiculous. More than 1,000 yards receiving. More than 19 yards a catch. Thirteen touchdowns in just 12 games. This after scoring 15 last year. As a sophomore. And playing in a run-heavy offense. Mankato receiver Shane Zylstra is absolutely tearing up Division II -- just like a certain someone used to do.
The Patriots have been at their best on offense this season when they've established the run and avoided facing a significant number of third downs. Achieving success in both areas could be difficult on Sunday against a Vikings team that offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels is expecting to offer "as big a challenge as we're going to have all year."

Mack and Jackson led a dominant effort by the defense. And Chicago (7-3) took a big step toward its first division championship since 2010.
