The season comes down to this. While it’s not a playoff game yet, it’s a playoff-type game for the Detroit Lions. They take on the Minnesota Vikings on “Sunday Night Football“ in a battle for the NFC North crown and the top seed in the NFC that comes with a much-needed bye week. After this game, no matter if the Lions win or lose, it will be a win-or-go-home situation for them, and this is the best warm-up game for Detroit to get ready for the postseason.
The last time these two teams played, the Vikings were undefeated at 5-0, and the Lions had to go on the road to Minnesota and pull off the upset.
