We’ve got to stay locked in,” Johnson said. “We can’t pat yourself on the back. We can’t take the cheese. We can’t listen to the media. We’ve got to stay humble and continue to grind.
“We definitely did (get caught up last year in what the media was saying). I think at some point in time we got complacent. We didn’t come out and execute like we were supposed to. So this year we’re learning from our mistakes, and guys are a little older and a little more experienced. We have great leadership, and we’re trying to continue to push through.”
After taking this week off, the Vikings next play at Washington on Nov. 12. That could serve as motivation since one of the losses during the four-game skid last year out of the bye week was 26-20 to the Redskins in D.C.
“Washington beat us last year,” nose tackle Linval Joseph said. “They’re next on the list, and we want to be 7-2.”
After what happened last season, Joseph said the Vikings will approach things “differently” after the bye week.
“We’re taking it one game at a time,” Joseph said. “A lot of guys are healthy, and we’re ready to go. Right now, we’re hungry and everybody wants to win.”
