Vikings fall to 1-5 after dismal 40-23 loss to the Falcons

Slipping on a pair of headphones to assess a game in which his team had allowed 40 points for the second time this year, in a building where it had never done so before this season, Vikings coach Mike Zimmer sounded dumbstruck about how it had all happened.

"It's hard for me to figure out how we can continue to get better and play like we did a week ago and then play as poorly as we did this week," he said after a 40-23 loss to the previously winless Atlanta Falcons.

"We didn't do very many things right, and we've got to get it fixed."
