Zimmer talks to reporters as fans look on from a nearby lounge
Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer had a little fun with fans during his postgame media briefing on Sunday.

The new facility includes a large premium fan area near the postgame interview room. Fans in the luxury room can look in and watch Zimmer during the news conference.
