The Minnesota Vikings head to Detroit to take on the Lions. The Vikings are coming off back-to-back losses, but are expected to have key players returning from injury. Andrew Van Ginkel will hope to shore up a struggling purple defense. On the other side of the ball, second-year man J.J. McCarthy is back from his ankle injury. Both players will face a tall task against the defending NFC North Champions. Detroit has won five of the last six meetings.
The Lions have had the Vikings’ number even when the team is playing well. The Vikings have a lot of pieces coming back, but it’s hard to see that being enough this week. It won’t be a fun Sunday for Vikings’ fans. The Vikings pull within one score late. Lions 28 – Vikings 20
