In the most anticipated regular season game of all time in the NFL, the Detroit Lions took on the Minnesota Vikings on “Sunday Night Football“ in a battle for the NFC North crown and the top seed in the NFC. It was hyped up as the best regular season game ever, with two 14-win teams battling, and despite all the hype, the result wasn’t what many expected.
Coming in, people expected a high-scoring game with both offenses playing well and the Lion's defense down multiple starters. People predicted it would be up to the Lions offense to win, and instead, it was the defense that made the biggest difference.
