Brian Flores continues to excel as a remarkable defensive coach, making NFL history during the Minnesota Vikings' matchup against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday afternoon.
Flores is going through his fourth year as the Vikings' defensive coordinator. He returned to form as an excellent coach following an underwhelming stint with the Miami Dolphins. Minnesota has flourished on that side of the ball, returning to the playoffs in 2024.
