New Delhi, October 12: Vikki Zimmer photo Vikki Zimmer death Bengals Mike Zimmer wife dead. Mike Zimmer’s wife is no more. His better half for more than twenty seven years left him alone for her heavenly journey two days ago.

And the worst thing for Mike Zimmer is that he would never know her last moment. She was alone at their house at the time of her death. May God give him and their footballer son courage to overcome the tragedy that has befallen their family.

Losing a loving companion of twenty seven years is like losing a better part of your life.

Mike Zimmer is back for a second season as Bengals defensive coordinator in 2009, following an ’08 campaign that featured steady improvement despite numerous injuries to front-line players.

The Bengals finished the season ranked 12th in the NFL in fewest yards allowed (325.5 per game). It was the franchise’s best ranking since 2001 (ninth). As the Bengals closed the season with a three-game win streak, opponents managed only 19 total points and averaged 227.3 yards per game.

The defense tied a pair of club records during the finishing stretch, holding foes scoreless for a stretch of seven consecutive quarters and allowing no touchdowns for nine consecutive quarters.

In Zimmer’s 4-3 scheme, ninth-year LB Dhani Jones posted a career-high 165 tackles. LB Brandon Johnson, who had no defensive stats over 2006-07 with Arizona, blossomed into an impact defender with 112 stops. Their play helped make up for the absence of top draft pick Keith Rivers, who started promisingly but missed more than half the year due to a jaw fracture.

Zimmer also helped accelerate the development of a promising young secondary, led by former first-round draft picks Leon Hall and Johnathan Joseph at CB.

An NFL defensive coordinator for the past nine seasons, with prior assignments in Dallas and Atlanta, Zimmer called the 2008 Bengals defense one of his favorites.
