Lions vs. Vikings bold prediction: Detroit sets season-high in rushing yards

The Detroit Lions started off the year with a bang on the ground, rushing for 181 yards against the Eagles. The following week, the Lions lost all three of their starting interior offensive linemen to injury, which would intuitively mean the run game would struggle. Instead, the Lions leaned on outside rushes and production from Amon-Ra St. Brown on the ground to trump their Week 1 performance to the tune of 191 rushing yards. This week, the Lions get the anchor of their offensive line back in Frank Ragnow, offering hope that they can post yet another big day against the Minnesota Vikings.
