The Minnesota Vikings held the New York Jets to two third-down conversions last Sunday as they continue to improve on last season’s historically good third-down defense.
This week’s film study identifies how Mike Zimmer is pulling it off.
BONUS CLIPS
VIKINGS 3RD DOWN DEFENSE: Over the past two weeks have allowed just TWO first downs on 23 attempts (2 for 23).
The two first downs allowed were a QB scramble.. and a 1YD QB sneak. pic.twitter.com/4EoqoE487G

Watching this Jets film and Jamal Adams is an absolute MONSTER who flys around and sets the tone with his physical presence…
But whats more impressive.. His celebrations.. that really get into the opposing teams psyche.. (What is that!?) pic.twitter.com/qGxElL86HD

Zim has had this DE cover flat/hook in the playbook since he’s got here.. No offense to BRob but its a beautiful thing to see unfold when you’ve got the right guys for the job (Weatherly played some cover LB @ Vandy)
Just ANOTHER wrinkle on film to study for opposing offenses.. pic.twitter.com/53GkwzhqKy
