Minnesota Vikings DBs ditch Mike Zimmer's game plan

[ThaVirus]

Minnesota Vikings defensive backs went rogue in Saturday's loss to the Green Bay Packers.

Coach Mike Zimmer planned for corner Xavier Rhodes to shadow Jordy Nelson the entire game. Instead, Vikings corners decided to each play their side of the field...

...

"A matter of fact, forget it. We felt as a team, as players, we came together and we felt like we'd never done that when we played against the Packers," Rhodes said. "Us as DBs felt like we could handle him. That's how we felt as DBs that we could stay on our side and cover him. In the beginning, we'd always played against them and played our sides, so that's what we as DBs went with."

This is pretty interesting. I've heard of individual players "freelancing" and it's obvious Randy Moss was dicking around the entire time he was in Oakland, but I don't think I've ever heard of anything like this.
