If Vikings are about to fire him, Mike Zimmer says he hasn't heard that from the top

Coach Mike Zimmer said Monday afternoon he has not spoken with Vikings ownership about his job status beyond this season. Zimmer is under contract through the 2023 season on a three-year extension signed just before back-to-back losing years.

"I have not talked to any of them," Zimmer said.

The Vikings' 37-10 loss to the Packers on Sunday ensured they'll miss the playoffs for the third time in four seasons. It's the fifth time in eight seasons under Zimmer in which the Vikings will have only seven or eight wins. The franchise hasn't been "knocking on the door" of Super Bowl contention, as co-owner Mark Wilf said 16 months ago in his last public comments about the team's leadership.
