Last call for local Detroit Lions fans. The team closes out their home schedule on Sunday afternoon with home finale against their in-division rival, the Minnesota Vikings. This isn’t where the Lions were hoping to be, playing for nothing but pride while hosting a hungry Vikings team, but it is what it is.
Pride can be a strong motivator for some, and Sunday remains an opportunity for Lions players to prove they belong in the league and can still win their individual matchups against players with more external motivations.
So despite a poor matchup for the Lions, let’s try and guess who could be in a for a big game (cue all the cynics saying Sam Martin).
