Mike Zimmer was just as baffled as the viewing audience when tight end Kyle Rudolph and the Minnesota Vikings' offensive line and receivers broke out in a game of "duck, duck, goose" after a touchdown on Monday night.
"I saw them sitting on their butts over there and I just asked, 'what the heck are they doing?'" Zimmer said at his Wednesday press conference. "I didn't know what was going on. I know I hadn't see them practice it."
The light-hearted moment even impressed Zimmer, a noted hard-ass.
"If we score a lot of touchdowns, I'll jump in with them," he said.
The Vikings' Twitter team referred to the game as "Duck, Duck, Gray Duck," something Zimmer doesn't have a problem with.
"I am in Minnesota, so I'll go with gray duck," he said. "I've never heard of that before but I am a Minnesotan - I've probably shot a gray duck."
