EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- Minnesota Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater was off-target on six of his 22 throws in the first half of Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers, according to ESPN Stats & Information, and several of those were overthrows on deep passes that could have helped the Vikings get on a roll early.

Bridgewater missed two downfield throws to Charles Johnson on the Vikings' first series, and threw too high for Jarius Wright late in the first quarter, though that was the first play of a drive that eventually led to a Vikings touchdown. The Vikings want to see Bridgewater get in a groove earlier in games, though, and coach Mike Zimmer saw a slight mechanical flaw with Bridgewater's delivery early in the game.

"He wasn't as accurate in this ballgame as he normally is," Zimmer said. "I think he might've been getting under and dropping the ball down a little bit too much and the ball was sailing on him. But he needs to be more accurate as well."

Bridgewater has typically been at his best in two-minute drill situations toward the end of games, when he's had a chance to run plays quickly and can avoid over-analyzing things while reading his progressions. The Vikings have run some no-huddle series this season, and could go to it more often to get Bridgewater in the same kind of rhythm, Zimmer said. He added Sunday probably wouldn't have been the time to do it, though.

"What I don't want to do is go no-huddle against Aaron Rodgers and get three incomplete passes and [only] 13 seconds run off the clock," Zimmer said. "Each game is different and I think tempo that we're changing up throughout different times of the game helps him as well. It doesn't necessarily have to be completely no-huddle, but I think the tempo change has helped him, yes."
