Q4, 14:33 remaining — Second-and-7 at the Jacksonville 5
The Jaguars keep their same skill grouping on the field, and the only change that the Vikings make is bringing in Kris Boyd for Gladney.
Dantzler travels to the left of the defense (right of the offense) to follow Conley.
The Vikings defensive line holds, gumming up the works and preventing Robinson from picking up steam. Credit Eddie Yarbrough and Armon Watts for some dirty work.
Davis surges forward to take on a block by tight end Eric Saubert, allowing safety Anthony Harris to read and quickly react. He comes swooping in unblocked to tackle Robinson for a loss of 1.
Harris gets the tackle for loss because everyone else did their job on the play, a point that Head Coach Mike Zimmer consistently emphasizes.
"We try to do it on all the plays, showing why – like, I don't know maybe it was a couple weeks ago, there were times we were trying to show a player why he was lined up where he was," Zimmer said Monday. "If he had been in the other, correct spot it would've helped out two or three other players.
"We show and talk about that all the time with really everybody, whether it's offense, defense or whoever," Zimmer added. "I'm always telling them, 'Do your job so someone else can have success doing theirs.' And that's part of the unselfishness. You have to, what's the word I'm looking for, you have to not try to make a play so someone else can and vice versa. Someone else will do it so you can make a play. It all fits hand-in-hand, really."
