Before Week 1, former Vikings coach (now the Cowboys defensive coordinator) Mike Zimmer voiced a wide range of grievances to Mark Craig of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. Zimmer wisely didn’t say anything about former Viking quarterback Kirk Cousins, who the Cowboys will face in Week 9.

Zimmer did not exercise any discretion regarding Sunday night’s opponent’s quarterback.

While lamenting former Vikings GM Rick Spielman’s attempt to draft a quarterback in 2021, Zimmer said Spielman wanted to trade for Justin Fields. And Zimmer added that Fields “hasn’t done anything.”

At the time, Russell Wilson was both the Steelers’ QB1 and healthy. Days later, Wilson aggravated his calf injury and Fields took over.

The Steelers have won three of four games and Fields doesn’t look like a guy who “didn’t do anything.” In a league where players and coaches search high and low for actual, perceived and/or made-up slights, Fields will be well aware of what Zimmer said – and he’ll try tonight to show something to the man who said he had ‘nothing has done’. I didn’t do anything.”
