The Detroit Lions (4-2) and Minnesota Vikings (6-0) face off on Sunday afternoon in one of the biggest games of the week.
For the Lions, a win keeps them undefeated in the division and puts them just a game behind the lead for the NFC North. A loss would drop them three games behind the Vikings, making it a steep climb to have a chance at their third NFC North title in four years.
The Vikings hope to remain the only undefeated team left in the NFL. Given that they’ve already tallied wins over the Packers
and Bears, a win on Sunday over Detroit would give them a commanding lead in the division. A loss, however, would open things up for everyone in the division, as every team will have a winning record regardless of what else happens in Week 8.
It will undoubtedly be a playoff-like environment at Ford Field. Heating up the matchup is the fact that the Vikings’ No. 1 scoring defense is going up against the Lions’ No. 2 scoring offense. Can Jared Goff continue his awesome season against the blitz or will Brian Flores’ hyper-aggressive defense be too much for him to handle?
