Watch: Mike Zimmer On Cousins, Timeout Call

In the video above, Mike Zimmer addresses the play of Kirk Cousins, who was affected by constant pass-rush pressure and fumbled twice. Zimmer also talks about the questionable timeout he called late in the first half. The Bears were lining up to punt, but Zimmer called a timeout that he didn't need to take, which allowed them to go for it and eventually kick a field goal to go up 10-0 at half.
